Note that the following essential points.

  • The Right Hand Limit (RHL) of the function f\left ( x \right ) at x=a is \lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(a+h) .

  • The Left Hand Limit (LHL) of the function f\left ( x \right ) at x=a is \lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(a-h) .

  • Here, h is positive and infinitely small.

  • The limit exists only when \lim _{x \rightarrow a+} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a-} f(x)

  • For the real number p that can be an integer or a fraction or a decimal, [\ p\ ] is used to indicate the greatest integer function and is used to indicate the fractional or the decimal part of p. Thus, mathematically, p=[p]+\{p\} \Rightarrow\{p\}=p-[p] .

The following is deduced which is used in the further calculations.

\begin{aligned} & \cdot \{6-h\}=(6-h)-[6-h]=6-h-5=1-h \\ & \cdot \{-5+h\}=(-5+h)-[-5+h]=-5+h-(-5)=-5-h+5=-h \\ &\cdot \{6+h\}=(6+h)-[6+h]=6+h-6=h \\ & \cdot \{-5-h\}=(-5-h)-[-5-h]=-5-h-(-6)=-5-h+6=1-h \end{aligned}

The Left Hand limit of     \lim _{x \rightarrow 8} \frac{\cos \{x-2\}}{\{3-x\}}

\begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 8} \frac{\cos \{x-2\}}{\{3-x\}} \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos \{(8-h)-2\}}{\{3-(8-h)\}}\right) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos \{6-h\}}{\{-5+h\}}\right) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos (1-h)}{h}\right) \\ & =\frac{\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \cos (1-h)}{\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(h)} \\ & =\text { undefined } \end{aligned}

 

The Right Hand limit of   \lim _{x \rightarrow 8} \frac{\cos \{x-2\}}{\{3-x\}}

 

 \begin{aligned} & \lim _{x \rightarrow 8^{\prime}} \frac{\cos \{x-2\}}{\{3-x\}} \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos \{(8+h)-2\}}{\{3-(8+h)\}}\right) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos \{6+h\}}{\{-5-h\}}\right) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\cos (h)}{(1-h)}\right) \\ & =\left(\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos (1-h)}{(1-h)}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{\cos 1}{1}\right) \\ & =\cos 1 \end{aligned}

Thus, the RHL of  \lim _{x \rightarrow 8} \frac{\cos \{x-2\}}{\{3-x\}} exists but its LHL does not exist.
