Understanding Limits and Logarithms

The video tutorial explains how to determine limits using direct substitution. It provides two examples involving exponential functions and logarithms. The first example calculates the limit of e raised to a power involving log base 2, while the second example involves log base 5. The tutorial also reviews logarithmic and exponential rules, such as converting logarithmic equations to exponential form and handling negative exponents. The video concludes with a summary of the methods used.
