The document provides examples for calculating the limit of functions as the input value approaches a certain number using tables of values and graphs. It defines the limit of a function as the value the function approaches as the input approaches some value. Three examples are given calculating the limit of functions as x approaches 2, -1, and 1 using tables. The limit is determined to be the same value when approaching from the left or right. A fourth example is given using a piecewise defined function.

LESSON 1: LIMIT OF A FUNCTION USING
TABLE OF VALUES INTUITIVE IDEA OF LIMIT We start by considering the function defined by 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝒙 + 𝟑 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙−𝟑
𝑥 approaches 3 from the left 𝑥 approaches 3 from the right
(𝒙 < 𝟑) (𝒙 > 𝟑)
𝒙 2.9 2.99 2.999 3 3.001 3.01 3.1
𝒇(𝒙) 1.9 1.99 1.999 undefined 2.001 2.01 2.1
The table of values indicates that if 𝑥 tends closer and closer to 3, the value of 𝑓 𝑥 approaches 2. definition of limit Definition: Let 𝑓 be a function defined in an open interval containing 𝑎 except possibly at 𝑎. We say the 𝑓(𝑥) has a limit 𝑳 as 𝑥 approaches 𝑎 if the value of 𝑓(𝑥) can be made arbitrarily close to 𝐿 by taking the value of 𝑥 near 𝑎 but not equal to 𝑎. We can express this by writing Function
𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝑳 𝒙→𝒂
As you approach 𝑎 The value of the function is
along the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠. getting closer to.
We read this as “the limit of 𝑓(𝑥) is equal to 𝐿 as 𝑥 approaches to 𝑎”.
Referring to the example in the beginning,
𝒇(𝒙) 𝒙→𝒂 𝑳 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝒙 + 𝟑 We approach 3 along 𝒇 𝒙 = 2 𝒙−𝟑 the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠.
𝒙𝟐 −𝟒𝒙+𝟑 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝑳 ⟹ 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒙−𝟑 =𝟐 𝒙→𝒂 𝒙→𝟑
Limit of a function is the value that a function "approaches" as the
input "approaches" some value. LIMIT OF A FUNCTION USING TABLE OF VALUES HB. 1. Investigate 𝐥𝐢𝐦 (𝒙 + 𝟑) 𝒙→𝟐 LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE
