AIM: HOW DO WE FIND A ONE-SIDED LIMIT?
0 if x 0
Let’s look at the following function again f x
1 if x 0
We said that the lim f x does not exist. However, what can we say about
x 0
lim f x = ? (0)
TIONMOTIVA
x 0
lim f x = ? (1)
x 0
Left hand and right hand limits are the idea of looking at what happens
to a function as we approach a particular value of x, from a particular
direction.
