Limits of Functions
What happens when a function's output isn't calculable directly – e.g., at infinity – but we still need to understand its behavior? That's where limits come in. See more
If \(f(x)\) is the function \[f(x)= \begin{cases} -x+10 & \text{ if } \lvert{x}\rvert \leq 2, \\ 2x^2 & \text{ if } \lvert{x}\rvert > 2, \end{cases} \] what is \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x)?\)
