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
