Question

The precise definition of the left-hand limit, limxaf(x)=L\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=L, may be stated as follows: For every number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a number δ>0\delta>0 such that f(x)L<ε|f(x)-L|<\varepsilon whenever aδ<x<aa-\delta<x<a. Similarly, for the right-hand limit, limxa+f(x)=L\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=L if for every number ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a number δ>0\delta>0 such that f(x)L<ε|f(x)-L|<\varepsilon whenever a<x<a+δa<x<a+\delta. Explain, with the aid of figures, why these definitions are appropriate.
