Limits
The number L is the limit of the function f(x) as x approaches c if, as the values of f(x) approach or equal L. In order for f(x) to exist, the values of f must approach the same number L as x approaches c from either the left or the right. (c- = c+)
There are two main ways to find a limit.
1. Using a table
2. Algebraically
