Limit of a function
Limit of a function
The value a function approaches as its input (x) gets closer and closer to a specific number (c), without necessarily reaching that number.
lim f(x) = L
x → c
lim f(x) = L x → c
The notation used to represent the limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a specific value c. It states that as x gets closer and closer to c, the function's value approaches L.
x approaches c from the left (x → c⁻)
x approaches c from the left (x → c⁻)
When x approaches c from the left, meaning x takes values less than c and gets progressively close to c.
x approaches c from the right (x → c⁺)
x approaches c from the right (x → c⁺)

Study Notes
Limits of Functions
- Limits are based on the concept of "getting closer" to a value without actually reaching it.
- The limit of a function (as x approaches a) exists if and only if the limit from both sides (left and right) are equal.
- A limit can be examined through a table, a graph, or algebraically.
- Graphically, a limit is the value a function approaches as x gets closer to a particular value.
Properties of Limits
- Property 1: Limit of a constant: lim c = c, where c is a constant.
- Property 2: Limit of a power of x: lim xn = an , where a is a constant.
- Property 3: Limit of a sum: lim [f(x) + g(x)] = lim f(x) + lim g(x)
- Property 4: Limit of a product: lim [f(x) ⋅ g(x)] = lim f(x) ⋅ lim g(x)
- Property 5: Limit of a constant times a function: lim [c ⋅ f(x)] = c ⋅ lim f(x)
- Property 6: Limit of a root: lim √f(x) = √lim f(x)
- Property 7: Limit of a rational function: If lim f(x) = L and lim g(x) = M (where M ≠ 0), then lim [f(x)/g(x)] = L/M
- Property 8: Constant limit as x approaches infinity : lim a=a, a is any constant
- Property 9: Limit at infinity of a general polynomial a xn : a ∞n = a ∞
- Property 10: Special limit involving the Reciprocal of x
- Property 11: Special limit for 1/xp when x approaches infinity
- Property 12: Limit of a rational function as x approaches infinity.
Estimating Limits
- Limits can be approximated using tables of values, graphs, or algebraic properties.
- Substitute the x value into the function to find the limit when the result is a finite number.
