definition of a limit (description)

the limit of f(x) as x approaches a, equals L

definition of a limit (formula)

lim f(x) = L

(x–>a)

definition of one-sided limits (left-hand limit)

the limit of f(x) as x approaches a from the left is equal to L

definition of one-sided limits (left-hand limit)

the limit of f(x) as x approaches a from the right is equal to L

the limit of f(x) = L as x–>a [is defined if]

the left and right limits are the same

infinite limits are _

vertical asymptotes

function f is continuous at a number a if (reason 1/3)

f(a) is defined [a is the domain of f]

function f is continuous at a number a if (reason 2/3)

lim f(x) exists [the left and right limits are the same]

function f is continuous at a number a if (reason 3/3)

lim f(x) = f(a)
