Intuitive Limits

Overview

A limit describes the value a function approaches as the input gets close to a point — not necessarily the value at that point.

Key Concepts

1

“lim_{x→a} f(x) = L” means f(x) gets close to L as x gets close to a

2

The limit can exist even if f(a) is undefined

3

Approaching from a table of values builds intuition
