  1. Section 1.7 The Precise Definition of a Limit

  2. THE PRECISE DEFINITION OF A LIMIT Definition: Let f be a function defined on some open interval that contains the number a, except possibly at a itself. Then we say the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L, and we write if for every number ε > 0 there is a number δ > 0 such that | f (x) − L | < ε whenever 0 < | x − a | < δ. Alternatively, if 0 < | x − a | < δ then | f (x) − L | < ε.

  3. LEFT-HAND AND RIGHT-HAND LIMITS See page 76 of the text for the precise definition of left-hand and right-hand limits.

  4. INFINITE LIMITS Definition: Let f be a function defined on some open interval that contains the number a, except possibly at a. Then means that for every positive number M there is a positive number δ such that f (x) > M whenever 0 < | x − a | < δ.

  5. There is a similar definition for on page 79 of the text.
