How can I draw the axial and equatorial bonds in a cycloctane?
The axial bonds are straight up or down, alternating on each carbon. The equatorial bonds will be 109.5 degrees from the axial bond such that they point to the outside of the ring.
To satisfy the octet rule for the carbon atoms, each of the eight carbons in a molecule of cyclooctane will have two hydrogens attached: one axial and one equatorial. The axial carbons are straight up and down (in a flat ring, they will point straight up and down, alternating on each carbon; up, down, up, down, etc.), and the equatorial hydrogens are 109.5* up or down from the axial carbons.
For instance, if the axial bond is drawn on carbon number 1 with the axial bond pointing straight up, the equatorial bond will be to the side of that carbon, pointing slightly down; if the axial bond is drawn on carbon number 2 of the same ring with the equatorial bond to the side and slightly up.

To draw the axial and equatorial bonds in a cyclooctane, start by drawing the cyclooctane ring structure. Then, for each carbon atom in the ring, alternate between placing bonds pointing up (axial bonds) and bonds pointing down (equatorial bonds) to represent the axial and equatorial positions, respectively. Ensure that each carbon atom has four bonds, maintaining the tetrahedral geometry of carbon.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
