Exploring Limits of Functions

What is the main purpose of using limits in calculus?

• To determine the value a function is approaching

• To find the exact value of a function

• To solve equations

• To find the maximum value of a function

Why is it important to focus on the value a function is approaching rather than the value it reaches?

• Because it is more accurate

• Because the function might not reach the value it is approaching

• Because the function always reaches the same value

• Because it is easier to calculate

What happens when you plug x = 2 into the function (x^2 - 4) / (x - 2)?

• You get an undefined value

• You get a value of 0

• You get a value of 4

• You get a value of 2
