The elementary definitions of limits are vague.
Precise (e-d) definition for limits of functions.

Recall: Left-Hand Limit
We write
and say “the left-hand limit of f(x), as x approaches a, equals L”
if we can make the values of f(x) arbitrarily close to L (as close as we like) by taking x to be sufficiently close to a and x less than a.
lim ( )x a
f x L

Recall: Right-Hand Limit
We write
and say “the right-hand limit of f(x), as x approaches a, equals L”
if we can make the values of f(x) arbitrarily close to L (as close as we like) by taking x to be sufficiently close to a and x greater than a.

Precise Definition
The values of d depend on the values of e. d is a function of e. Definition is independent of the function value at a

Guessing and Proofing
Note that in the solution of Example 1 there were two stages — guessing and proving.
We made a preliminary analysis that enabled us to guess a value for d. But then in the second stage we had to go back and prove in a careful, logical fashion that we had made a correct guess.
This procedure is typical of much of mathematics. Sometimes it is necessary to first make an intelligent guess about the answer to a problem and then prove that the guess is correct.

Remarks
We are in a process of “reinventing” calculus. Many results that you have learned in calculus courses are not yet available!
It is like …

Remarks
Most limits are not as straight forward as Example 1.

Questions…
What is so magical about 1 in ? Can this limit be proved without using the
“minimum” technique?
