Limit

★★★☆☆High School

📖Definition

The value a function approaches as the variable approaches some value.

📐Formulas

lim_x → a f(x) = L

f(x) approaches L as x approaches a

  • aThe value x approaches
  • LThe limit value
lim_x → ∈fty (1)/(x) = 0

Limit as x approaches infinity

✏️Examples

예제 1★★★☆☆

Find lim(x→2) (x² - 4)/(x - 2).

lim_x → 2 (x² - 4)/(x - 2) = lim_x → 2 (x+2) = 4
예제 2★★★★

Find lim(x→∞) (3x² + x)/(x² + 1).

lim_x → ∈fty (3x² + x)/(x² + 1) = 3

📜History
