Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company In Figure 1(A), we see that the value of y approaches 1 as x approaches 0. In Figure 1(B), we see that the value of |f (x) – 1| < 0.2, if – 1 < x < 1. In Figure 1(C), we see that the value of |f (x) – 1| < 0.004, if – 0.15 < x < As we continue to narrow the gap around 0, we lessen the value of |f (x) – 1|, leading to the formal definition of a limit.

The formal definition of the limit of a function Courtesy of Tom Reardon:

Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company For y = 8x + 3, the formal definition gives us the limit as x approaches 3 as follows: and as illustrated in Figure 2 below.
