The formal definition of a limit |
|
Definition
Let f be a function defined on some open interval that contains the number a, except possibly at a itself. Then we say that the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L, and we write *lim(x->a) f(x) = L* if for every number µ>0 there is a number ´>0 such that if 0<|x-a|<´ then |f(x)-L|<µ |
