Using Factorization to Find Limits: An Introduction to Calculus
<p><strong>In our </strong><a href="https://medium.com/@partialderivative/interpreting-limits-algebraically-an-introduction-to-calculus-898908908c1d" rel="noopener"><strong>previous article</strong></a><strong>, we discovered that limits can be found algebraically via direct substitution, and provided some intuition for why that is.</strong></p>
<p>Let’s remind ourselves of how to find limits via direct substitution.</p>
<p>For a function such as:</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:525/0*2i8oCCzyWKXySozU" style="height:88px; width:525px" /></p>
<p>We can plug in 1 for x, and reach our answer of 48.</p>
<p>Knowing that, let’s try another problem:</p>
