alleryA limit describes the behaviour of a function:
AAt the origin
BNear a point
CAt infinity
DOver all x
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Near a point
1. The value of the function at the point itself is not the issue.
2. What matters is what happens close by.
3. So a limit describes behaviour near a point.
