  • Definition of Limit
  • One-Sided Limit
  • Left-hand Limit
  • Right-hand Limit
  • Existence of a limit of a function at a point x = a
  • Algebra of limits:
    Let f(x) and g(x) be two functions such that
    `lim_(x→a) f(x) = l and lim_(x → a) g(x) = m, then`
    1. `lim_(x → a) [f(x) ± g(x)] = lim_(x → a) f(x) ± lim_(x → a) g(x) = l ± m`
    2. `lim_(x → a) [f(x) xx g(x)] = lim_(x→ a) f(x) xx lim_(x→ a) g(x) = l xx m`
    3. `lim_(x → a) [kf(x)] = k xx lim_(x→ a) f(x) = kl, "where" ‘k’ "is a constant"`
    4. `lim_(x → a) f(x)/g(x) = (lim_(x → a) f(x))/(lim_(x → a) g(x)) = l/m "where" m≠ 0`.

Definition: Limit

If f(x) approaches a real number l, when x approaches a, then l is called the limit of f(x).

Symbolically, \[\lim_{x\to a}f\left(x\right)=l\]

Definition: Left Hand Limit

When we have the values of f near x to the left of a, i.e.
\[\lim_{x\to a^{-}}f\left(x\right)\] is the expected value of f at x = a.

Definition: Right Hand Limit

When we have the values of f near x to the right of a i.e.
\[\lim_{x\to a^{+}}f\left(x\right)\] is the expected value of f at x = a.

Theorem: Sandwich theorem (Squeeze theorem)

If f(x) ≤ g(x) ≤ h(x) and \[\lim_{x\to a}\mathrm{f}(x)=l=\lim_{x\to a}\mathrm{h}(x)\]

\[\therefore\lim_{x\to a}g(x)=l\]
