Right hand limit : ( )lim x a f x L +→ = . This has the same definition as the limit except it requires x a . Left hand limit : ( )lim x a f x L ?→ = . This has the same definition as the limit except it requires x a . Limit at Infinity : We say ( )lim x f x L →∞ = if we can make ( )f x as close to L as we want by taking x large enough and positive. There is a similar definition for ( )lim x f x L →?∞ = except we require x large and negative. Infinite Limit : We say ( )lim x a f x → = ∞ if we can make ( )f x arbitrarily large (and positive) by taking x sufficiently close to a (on either side of a) without letting x a= . There is a similar definition for ( )lim x a f x → = ?∞ except we make ( )f x arbitrarily large and negative. Relationship between the limit and one-sided limits ( )lim x a f x L → = ?
