OpenStudy (owlcoffee):

When we notate limits, "lateral limits" more specifically, we put a "+" or a "-" sign on the tendency, so we can tell from what "direction" we are approaching the value of x. so, if we notate for example: \[\lim_{x \rightarrow C ^{+}}f(x)=L\] we say "the limit as x approaches C from the right side is approaching L" we say approach, because we get very close from the right side (positive values of x). And when we notate: \[\lim_{x \rightarrow C ^{-}}f(x)=L\] it is pretty much an analogical way of reading, but instead of "right side" we say "left side", because we approach from values that are lower than C.
