This section provides an introduction to the concept of limits in mathematics, particularly in the context of calculus.
What is a Limit? A limit is a fundamental concept in calculus that describes the behavior of a function as the input approaches a particular value.
Types of Limits There are several types of limits, including:
- One-Sided Limits
- Two-Sided Limits
- Indeterminate Forms
How to Find Limits Finding limits can be done using various techniques, such as:
- Direct Substitution
- Factoring
- Rationalizing the Denominator
- L'Hôpital's Rule
Why are Limits Important? Limits are crucial for understanding the behavior of functions, especially at critical points like endpoints, discontinuities, and asymptotes.
