I found "wabbit" and it seems to work. Thanks!

comment What is the point of those “properties of limits” functions?
@julien, for a piecewise function like yours, you would not be able to use the 4 properties to determine a limit anyway, right?

@AakashM You would still be dividing by zero either way, right? The limit when using forula #4 in the OP would be 0/0 or undef.

comment Dealt 3 cards. Odds of being dealt any pair?
Thanks for the explanation!! Last thing, dividing by 6 in the first calculation is to remove the 3! ways of ordering 3 cards?

comment Arbitrarily discarding/cancelling Radians units when plugging angular speed into linear speed formula?
Thank you Zev and Cameron. Let me sit in silence and ponder this. For now, I understand that once you introduce a radian measure into a linear measurement, the radians no longer apply, just the scalar value does.

comment Arbitrarily discarding/cancelling Radians units when plugging angular speed into linear speed formula?
Makes sense. Almost. Since "radians" are dimensionless, why use it? It cancels. In the first equation, the rock rotates 180 times in a minute. So, it covers 360pi radians in a minute. In this equation, you must use radians to describe 360pi somethings per minute. In the 2nd equation, you are simply multiplying radius by this how much angle it sweeps per minute. Doesn't the same thing apply? 2 times 360pi somethings. No need to describe what there are 360pi's of? 360pi seems meaningless without the units to describe what you're counting (radians)
