A limit is the value a function approaches as the input value gets closer to a specified quantity. Limits are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals. This handout focuses on …

A second reason is that limits of polynomials lead to function like the exponential function or logarithm function. An other reason is that one can use limits to de ne numbers like = …

But the three most fun-damental topics in this study are the concepts of limit, derivative, and integral. Each of these con-cepts deals with functions, which is why we began this text by first …

Continuity, at a point a, is defined when the limit of the function from the left equals the limit from the right and this value is also equal to the value of the function. Using notation, for all points a …

Limits of Functions In this chapter, we define limits of functions and describe some of their properties.

What is the y-coordinate of the point they are approaching as they approach x = 1? It is 3, the limit value. TIP 1: Remember that y-coordinates of points along the graph correspond to function …

Limits of functions vs. limits of sequences Theorem Let f : E → R be a function and x0 be an accumulation point of its domain E . Then f (x) → L as x → x0 if and only if for any sequence …
