Understanding the Squeeze Theorem

The video tutorial explains the Squeeze Theorem, also known as the Sandwich Theorem, which is used to find limits of functions. It states that if a function f(x) is squeezed between two other functions g(x) and h(x) that have the same limit at a point, then f(x) also has that limit. The tutorial provides a graphical explanation using specific functions and demonstrates how to apply the theorem to determine limits. The video concludes with a formal proof and highlights the theorem's usefulness in proving limits and derivative formulas.
