Understanding Limits in Calculus

What is a Limit?

The concept of a limit is fundamental in calculus. It describes the behavior of a function as it approaches a particular input. Limits help us understand the behavior of functions at points where they might not be explicitly defined. 🐸

Mathematical Notation

Mathematically, the limit of function f(x) as x approaches a value a is represented as:

limx→a f(x) = L

This indicates that as x gets closer and closer to 'a', f(x) gets closer and closer to 'L'.
