This calculus 1 review provides a basic introduction to limits.  It explains how to calculate the limit of a function by direct substitution, factoring, using the common denominator of a complex fraction and multiplying by the conjugate in the case of radicals and square roots.  In addition to finding the limit analytically, it explains how to calculate the limit of a function graphically.  It covers one sided limits, limits at infinity, and infinite limits as well.  This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

I am intrigued as to why you are multiplying by the conjugate of the numerator (as opposed to the denominator) in the case of the problem beginning at 10:13. Thanks for all your hard work!
