   How do you calculate a limit?

   • Limits formula: - Let y = f (x) as a function of x. If at a point x = a, f (x) takes indeterminate form, then we can consider the values of the function which is very near to a. If these values tend to some definite unique number as x tends to a, then that obtained a unique number is called the limit of f (x) at x = a.

   What is the definition of a limit?

   • A limit is a method of determining what it looks like the function "ought to be" at a particular point based on what the function is doing as you get close to that point. If you have a continuous function, then this limit will be the same thing as the actual value of the function at that point.
