Limits and Continuity, Part 3 (includes Epsilon-Delta Proof for a Linear Function)

Tricky limits involving square roots and cube roots often require algebra tricks like rationalizing the denominator, a substitution, or factoring the difference of two cubes. The Squeeze Theorem is useful for certain limits such as x^2sin(1/x) as x goes to 0. We also do an epsilon-delta proof for a linear function.
