Limits of Transcendental Functions

The document discusses limits of transcendental functions including exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. It provides definitions and theorems about the limits of these functions as the variable approaches certain values. Examples are also included to demonstrate applying the theorems to evaluate specific limits.
