The epsilon-delta definition of limit says that if limx→a f(x) = L, then for every ε>0, there exists a δ>0 such that |f(x)-L| < ε whenever 0<|x-a|<δ. In this post, we will learn the epsilon-delta definition of a limit with examples. We also provide the negative statement of the epsilon-delta definition of limits. Epsilon-Delta Definition of … Read more
