Limits
The word “limit” is used in everyday conversation to describe the ultimate behavior of something, as in the “limit of one’s endurance” or the “limit of one’s patience.”
In mathematics, the word “limit” has a similar but more precise meaning.
![Page 4: Limits](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020504/568c50dc1a28ab4916b04a15/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Limits
Given a function f(x), if x approaching 3 causes the function to take values approaching (or equalling) some particular number, such as 10, then we will call 10 the limit of the function and write
In practice, the two simplest ways we can approach 3 are from the left or from the right.
![Page 5: Limits](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020504/568c50dc1a28ab4916b04a15/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Limits
For example, the numbers 2.9, 2.99, 2.999, ... approach 3 from the left, which we denote by x→3 –, and the numbers 3.1, 3.01, 3.001, ... approach 3 from the right, denoted by x→3 +. Such limits are called one-sided limits.

Use tables to find
Example– FINDING A LIMIT BY TABLES
Solution :
We make two tables, as shown below, one with x approaching 3 from the left, and the other with x approaching 3 from the right.

Limits IMPORTANT!This table shows what f (x) is doing as x approaches 3. Or
we have the limit of the function as x approaches We write
this procedure with the following notation.

Def: We write
if the functional value of f (x) is close to the single real
number L whenever x is close to, but not equal to, c. (on
either side of c).
or as x → c, then f (x) → L

Limits
As you have just seen the good news is that many limits can be evaluated by direct substitution.

Limit Properties
These rules, which may be proved from the
definition of limit, can be summarized as
follows.
For functions composed of addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, powers,
root, limits may be evaluated by direct
substitution, provided that the resulting
expression is defined.

One-Sided Limit
We have introduced the idea of one-sided
limits. We write
and call K the limit from the left (or left-
hand limit) if f (x) is close to K whenever x
is close to c, but to the left of c on the real
number line.
K)x(flimcx

One-Sided Limit
We write
and call L the limit from the right (or right-
hand limit) if f (x) is close to L whenever x
is close to c, but to the right of c on the real
number line.
L)x(flimcx
![Page 16: Limits](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020504/568c50dc1a28ab4916b04a15/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Limit
K)x(flimcx
Thus we have a left-sided limit:
L)x(flimcx
And a right-sided limit:
And in order for a limit to exist, the
limit from the left and the limit from
the right must exist and be equal.

Infinite Limits
Sometimes as x
approaches c, f (x)
approaches infinity or
negative infinity.

From the graph to the right you can see that the limit is
∞. To say that a limit exist means that the limit is a real
number, and since ∞ and - ∞ are not real numbers means
that the limit does not exist.

Continuity
• Intuitively, a function is said to be continuousif we can draw a graph of the function with one continuous line.
I. e. without removing our pencil from the graph paper.
