undefined and dne limits

250 views

I’m in AP calc AB, and I’m confused about undefined and DNE, aren’t they both the same? I know the overlap in some instances but there are some problems where it must be either one. I’m confused.

limits represent the tendency of a function, so limits do not exist if we cannot determine the tendency of the function to a single point. Graphically, limits do not exist when there is a jump discontinuity or When you have infinite limits, limits do not exist.

Undefined is what happens when you don’t assign a function an interpretation. Like how any thing divided by zero is undefined.

10/5=2 because 10 is 2 sets of 5.

10/0 is undefined because you are saying zero sets of 10. You cant have zero sets of a thing. You can have 10 sets of zero.

I cant have 10 baskets of zero apples but i cant have zero baskets of 10 apples that’s undefined.
