Definition 6.1.8: One-Sided Limits of a Function
If f is a function with domain D and
c
closure(D).
Then:

- f has a left-hand limit L at c
if for every
> 0 there exists
> 0 such that if x
D and c -
< x < c then | f(x) - L | <
. We write
f(x) = L
- f has a right-hand limit L at c
if for every
> 0 there exists
> 0 such that if x
D and c < x < c +
then | f(x) - L | <
. We write
f(x) = L
