What does “Limit” actually mean in Limits & Continuity, and why does it matter for JEE?

the value a function approaches as the input nears a point, even if it isn't defined there.

In simple words: the value a function approaches as the input nears a point, even if it isn't defined there. Getting Limit clear matters because JEE questions on Limits & Continuity usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Limit

Common mistake

assuming the limit always equals the function's value at that point.

Memory tip

a limit can exist where f(a) doesn't — it's about approaching, not arriving.

Tap to watch or see it right here — the app stays open (it only opens a quick search if nothing embeddable is found).
