Quick Revision Takeaways

Common Exam Pitfalls to Avoid

⚠️ Common Error: Cancelling h from denominator before establishing the limit form.

✓ Correct Approach: Simplify the numerator algebraically until h factors out cleanly from every term.

Why: Direct substitution yields the indeterminate form 0/0.
