limits in terms of calculus.....why is the finding the limit as x approaches c important?

Answer 4

Sometimes we want to consider the value of the function as we approach a point instead of the value of the point itself. The derivative for instance is the limit of the difference quotient.

Answer 5

\[\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\]

Answer 6

usually limits are used for asymptotes because the asymptotes will always be undefined it allows us to get as close as possible to the asymptote
