Intuitive Definition of the Limit limxaf(x)=Llimxaf(x)=L
Two Important Limits limxax=alimxac=climxax=alimxac=c
One-Sided Limits limxaf(x)=Llimxa+f(x)=Llimxaf(x)=Llimxa+f(x)=L
Infinite Limits from the Left limxaf(x)=+limxaf(x)=limxaf(x)=+limxaf(x)=
Infinite Limits from the Right limxa+f(x)=+limxa+f(x)=limxa+f(x)=+limxa+f(x)=
Two-Sided Infinite Limits limxaf(x)=+:limxaf(x)=+limxaf(x)=+:limxaf(x)=+ and limxa+f(x)=+limxa+f(x)=+
limxaf(x)=:limxaf(x)=limxaf(x)=:limxaf(x)= and limxa+f(x)=limxa+f(x)=
