Concept of Limit
Let (x) be defined on an open interval about x0 except possibly at
x0 itself. If (x) gets arbitrarily close to k for all x sufficiently close to
x0, we say that approaches the limit k as x approaches x0.
Lim f ( x) = k
x x0

The limit value does not depend on how the function is defined:

g ( x) = x 1

Limit of Polynomials
Limit of a polynomial can be found by substitution:
If
P ( x) = an x n + an 1 x n 1 + ..............a0

Sandwich Theorem
Suppose that g(x) f(x) h(x)for all x in some open interval
containing c, except possibly at x = c itself. Suppose also that
Lim g ( x) = Lim h( x) = L
x c
Then

Lim f ( x) = L
