36.1.4 The Arithmetic of Limits
Core ideaWhen two quantities each settle toward their own value, their sum, difference, product, and quotient settle right along with them, so you can break a limit into pieces.
Module goal. Build the gut feeling of "getting infinitely close," turning the vague "closer and closer" into a precise, workable language of limits that sets the stage for rates of change.
