Would you like further clarification on any of these parts or a detailed explanation of limits and continuity?
Relative Questions:
- How do left-hand and right-hand limits affect the existence of two-sided limits?
- What is the significance of filled and hollow circles in function graphs?
- How can a function be discontinuous at a point but still have a defined value?
- How do you graphically verify the existence of a limit?
- What does the notation imply in terms of continuity and limits?
Tip:
Always check the behavior of a function from both sides of a point to determine if a two-sided limit exists!

lim_{x → a^-} f(x) (Left-hand limit)
lim_{x → a^+} f(x) (Right-hand limit)
lim_{x → a} f(x) exists if lim_{x → a^-} f(x) = lim_{x → a^+} f(x)
f(a) represents the function value at x = a
