Errata

• Chapter 1 – Limits Review
  For the Definition of Infinite Limits at Infinity, #2 should be the limit as x approaches POSITIVE infinity.
• For Test #1 on Limits, the problems count for the following benchmarks:
  • BM 10.1 = #1, #2i, #2ii, #2iii, #6ii, #6iii, #6iv
  • BM 10.2 = #3i, #3ii, #3iii, #5, #7, #9
  • BM 10.3 = #6i
  • BM 10.4a = #4, #8
