help limit --- help for sym/limit.m --- LIMIT Limit of an expression. LIMIT(F,x,a) takes the limit of the symbolic expression F as x -> a. LIMIT(F,a) uses findsym(F) as the independent variable. LIMIT(F) uses a = 0 as the limit point. LIMIT(F,x,a,'right') or LIMIT(F,x,a,'left') specify the direction of a one-sided limit. Examples: syms x a t h; limit(sin(x)/x) returns 1 limit((x-2)/(x^2-4),2) returns 1/4 limit((1+2*t/x)^(3*x),x,inf) returns exp(6*t) limit(1/x,x,0,'right') returns inf limit(1/x,x,0,'left') returns -inf limit((sin(x+h)-sin(x))/h,h,0) returns cos(x) v = [(1 + a/x)^x, exp(-x)]; limit(v,x,inf,'left') returns [exp(a), 0] Reference page in Help browser doc limit syms n L=limit((n*sqrt(4*n^2+3*n+1)-2*n^2)/(n+1),n,Inf) L = 3/4 L=eval(limit((n*sqrt(4*n^2+3*n+1)-2*n^2)/(n+1),n,Inf)) L = 0.7500 diary off
