Section 1.2 Finding Limits Graphically and Numerically
Finding limits numerically. F(x) = (x2 – 3x + 2)/(x – 2)
Finding limits: Find
A formal definition of a limit • If f(x) becomes arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches c from either side than . • For each ε > , there exists a > such that if 0 < | x- c| < , then |f(x) – L| < ε
Finding a for a given ε • Find . Then find > 0 such that |f(x) – L| < 0.01 whenever 0 < |x – c| <
Using the definition of a limit • Prove • Prove =-1
