Limits Definitions
Precise Definition : We say ( )limx a
f x L→
= if
for every 0ε > there is a 0δ > such that whenever 0 x a δ< − < then ( )f x L ε− < . “Working” Definition : We say ( )lim
x af x L
→=
if we can make ( )f x as close to L as we want by taking x sufficiently close to a (on either side of a) without letting x a= . Right hand limit : ( )lim
x af x L
+→= . This has
the same definition as the limit except it requires x a> . Left hand limit : ( )lim
x af x L
−→= . This has the
same definition as the limit except it requires x a< .
Limit at Infinity : We say ( )limx
f x L→∞
= if we
can make ( )f x as close to L as we want by taking x large enough and positive. There is a similar definition for ( )lim
xf x L
→−∞=
except we require x large and negative. Infinite Limit : We say ( )lim
x af x
→= ∞ if we
can make ( )f x arbitrarily large (and positive) by taking x sufficiently close to a (on either side of a) without letting x a= . There is a similar definition for ( )lim
x af x
→= −∞
except we make ( )f x arbitrarily large and negative.
