Level curves are another visualization tool.

Level surfaces One could try to visualize these together, but this is difficult (how do you see one sphere within the next?) so we will not focus on level surfaces.

To show that limits exist we will usually cheat a bit and cite CONTINUITY.

Polynomials are CTS everywhere and rational functions are CTS on their domains.

Guidelines to identify continuous functions so you know when certain limits automatically exist (1) Sums, differences and products of CTS functions are CTS (check domain) (2) Ratios of CTS functions (check domain) (3) Compositions of CTS functions are CTS**
