How do you find the limit of a function? The limit of the root of a function equals the corresponding root of the limit of the function. One way to find the limit of a function expressed as a quotient is to write the quotient in factored form and simplify. See Example. Another method of finding the limit of a complex fraction is to find the LCD. See Example.
