LIMITS AND CONTINUITY 1. The concept of limit x2 − 4 . Examine the behavior of f (x) as x approaches 2. Example 1.1. Let f (x) = x−2 Solution. Let us compute some values of f (x) for x close to 2‚ as in the tables below. We see from the first table that f (x) is getting closer and closer to 4 as x approaches 2 from the left side. We express this by saying that “the limit of f (x) as x approaches 2 from left is 4”‚ and write x→2− lim f (x) = 4. Similarly‚ by looking at the second table

They have two main components: frequency (pitch; measured in Hertz (Hz)) and amplitude (loudness‚ intensity; measured in decibels (dB)). The method of limits is a psychophysical method in which a particular dimension of a stimulus‚ or the difference between two stimuli‚ is varied incrementally until the participant responds differently.
