To estimate ( g(2.95) ) and ( g(3.05) ), use linear approximation:
- Find the slope of the function at ( x = 3 ) using the derivative ( g'(x) ).
- Use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the linear approximation.
- Plug in ( x = 2.95 ) and ( x = 3.05 ) into the linear equation to estimate ( g(2.95) ) and ( g(3.05) ).

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.
