Limits and Functions
Limit of any function is defined as the value of the function when the independent variable of the function approaches a particular value. A function’s limit exist only when the left hand limit and right hand limit of the function both exist and are equal.
Left hand Limit (LHL) of the function is the limit of the function when the limit of the function approaches from the left side of the function.
Right hand Limit (RHL) of the function is the limit of the function when the limit of the function approaches from the right side of the function.
Limits in Calculus
Limits in maths are defined as the values approaching the output for the given input values of a function. Limits are used in calculus and mathematical analysis for finding the derivatives of the function. They are also used to define the continuity of the function.
The limit of any function is also used to find the integral of the function. The integral are of two types, Indefinite Integral, and Definite Integral, in definite integral we use the concept of upper limit and lower limit to find the answer to the definite integral. A function can reach a particular value from more than one path and the value of the function at that particular point is called the limit of the function at that point. Suppose we are given a function f(x) and when x approaches a the function approaches A this i represented using the limit as:
lim x ⇢ a f(x) = A
In this article, we will learn the introduction to limits, properties of limits, limits, and continuity, and others in detail.
