DETERMINING THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION USING NUMERICAL AND GRAPHICAL METHODS

This work discusses the numerical (table) method and the graphical method used to determine the limit of a function, along with their procedures and advantages. In the numerical method, the values of the function are analyzed as the argument approaches the limit point, allowing the behavior of the function and its convergence toward the limit to be observed. In the graphical method, the graph of the function is constructed, and the behavior of the graph near the limit point is examined to determine whether the limit exists and to identify its value. A comparative analysis of both methods highlights their practical significance and their role in enhancing intuitive understanding of the concept of limits. This topic contributes to improving visualization in explaining function limits and helps develop analytical and independent thinking skills in students.
