What is the correct notation for “The limit of x^2 - 1 as x approaches 3?
Thank you
The correct notation for the limit of a function as a variable approaches a specific value is written as:
lim(x->a) f(x)
In this case, you are interested in the limit of the function f(x) = x^2 - 1 as x approaches 3. So the notation for this would be:
lim(x->3) (x^2 - 1)
This notation indicates that we are evaluating the behavior of the function as x gets arbitrarily close to 3.
