Limits are a very powerful tool in mathematics and are used throughout calculus and beyond. The key idea is that a limit is what I like to call a \behavior operator". A limit will tell you the behavior of a function nearby a point.
Introduction to limits. Now that we’ve finished our lightning review of precalculus and functions, it’s time for our first really calculus-based notion: the limit. This is really a very intuitive concept, but it’s also kind of miraculous and lets us do some very powerful things.
We define the limit of a function in a similar way. For example, the points of the sequence (1/n)∞n=1 are also points on the graph of the function f(x) = 1/x for x > 0. As x gets larger, f(x) gets closer and closer to zero. In fact, f(x) will get closer to zero than any distance we choose, and will stay closer.
The limits are defined as the value that the function approaches as it goes to an x value. Using this definition, it is possible to find the value of the limits given a graph. A few examples are below: . In general, you can see that these limits are equal to the value of the function. This is true if the function is continuous. Continuity .
limits when the function involves division by 0. For example f(x) = (x4+x2+1)=xneeds to be investigated more carefully at x= 0. You see for example that for x= 1=1000, the function is slightly larger than 1000. We can simplify it to x3 + x+ 1=xfor x6= 0. There is no limit lim x!0 f(x) because 1=xhas no limit. 3.7. Example. Also, for sin and cos ...
