Limits Introduction

In mathland, we had learned about limits, a concept that is used mainly in calculus. However, we still learned the basics of limits. Limits are basically the values that equations that are functions or sequences approach. To find a limit, one can apply graphing or just create a table where the values close to the x value that the function goes to can be known. Through this method with the table, an approximation can be made for the value of the limit. An example of each method is shown below. 
Also, we can easily tell when there is no actual limit. The cases include when the function has two lines that converge but goes to infinite. Another scenario is when there is a gap. Lastly, when there is extreme occilation between two values.
