From the examples, we see that the limit is the
same value that we’d get by just evaluating the
function at the point in question. This seems to
violate the main concept about limit that we’ve
learned to this point.

In this case, the function that we’ve solved is simply “nice
enough” so what is happening around the point is exactly
the same as what is happening at the point.
