****A note about Section 2.3 material: If the directions ask you to do a problem using a particular method (such as with limit laws), do so!  Otherwise, …

-         For number 14 in Section 2.3, please use only limit laws, explicitly noting which laws (from the Limit Laws Handout) you have used in each step; do not use the Direct Substitution Property.

-         For all other problems, you may use whatever laws/properties you wish.  However, for each step, be sure to explicitly state what properties you are using (and why they are valid in that situation, where applicable).
