LIMITS OF A FUNCTION 
A function f(x) is said to approach a value A as x 
approaches a, if corresponding to every positive number 
Є there is some positive number such that 
is true for every x that satisfies the inequality

CONTINUITY AND DISCONTINUITY 
A single-valued function f(x) is said to be 
continuous at a value a of its domain 
provided that: 
A function that is not continuous at a point is 
said to be discontinuous at that point.
