The Limit of a Function 08/26/2022

Math 224


X -

Consider the function f(x) =
X2-1

The domain of is all X except X= 1 or X = -1


Interval Notation : (-c , -1)u(-1 1) v(1 ,

,




Let's examine the behavior of f when X is near 1

"Intuitive"Definition of a Limit :
Suppose f(x) is defined when X is near a number a.


limf(x) L if of
Then we write
X >a
=
we can make the values f(x)
arbitrarily close to L
by
restricting X to be sufficiently close to a Con either side of al but not
equal to a.

LimH(t) limit


We write limf(x) if f(x)
X > G-
= - we can make the values
arbitrarily close to 1
by
taking X to be
sufficiently close to a with X less than a.

We write limf(x) L =

if we can make the values f(x) arbitrarily close to 1
by
Xa+

taking X to be
sufficiently close to a with X
greater than a.
