Definition of Limit Main Concept The precise definition of a limit states that: Let be a function defined on an open interval containing (except possibly at ) and let be a real number. Define the limit of at to be , or write if the following statement
Finally, we have the formal definition of the limit with the notation seen in the previous section. Definition 1.2.1 The Limit of a Function Let I be an open interval containing c , and let f be a function defined on I , except possibly at c . The limit of f(x), as x approaches...
(mathematics) A value to which a sequence converges. Equivalently, the common value of the upper limit and the lower limit of a sequence: if the upper and lower limits are different, then the sequence has no limit (i.e., does not converge). The sequence of reciprocals has zero as its...
Definition of Limit more ... A value we get closer and closer to, but never quite reach For example, when we graph y=1/x we see that it gets closer... and closer... to zero but does not ever quite get there. We then say "As x approaches infinity, then 1/x approaches 0" ...
Limits of a Function:A limit of a function describes at what value does the function approaches to when its input gets closer and closer to some point. The concept of limits is widely used in mathematics as it has many applications such as defining discontinuity, calculating a...

Using the precise definition of a limit (epsilon and delta), prove as x approaches -3, the limit (1 - 4x) = 13.Epsilon Delta ProofsLike many statements in mathematics, we can prove that a limit equals a specific value. The way we do so is called an ...
