Limits Practice - Pre-Calculus: Semester Two Review

This document contains 8 practice problems about calculating limits of functions from graphs and algebraically. The problems cover one-sided limits, limits at infinity, limits involving absolute values, and limits of piecewise defined functions. The goal is to evaluate the limits and identify indeterminate forms using appropriate notation like 1, 1, or DNE.
