eli5: what are limits in calculus???
In: Mathematics
A “limit” describes the behavior of a function as the input values approach some number.
The limit of 1/x as x approaches inifinity, for example, is 0. This is because the closer x gets to infinity, the closer y gets to zero.
Likewise, the limit of x as x approaches zero is infinity; this is because the closer x gets to zero (from the negative side of the axis), the closer y gets to infinity.
Give it a try if you don’t believe me.
