Question

suppose there is a limit x tends to 2.
we know that x is taking values closer and closer to 2 but not equal to 2. but while evaluating the limit why we put the value of x as 2????

Answer 1

Hey @sagar14 ..you're right 'x limit tends 2' means 'x is taking values closer and closer to 2'...so it'll take values like 1.99, 1.999, 1.9999, 1.99999....or even close..that's where 'rounding off' comes in..even if you put 1.9999...while evaluating limit...you'll get same answer..
