Hi can you please tell me the practical meaning of LIMITS...?
Exploring the Practicality of Limits in Scientific Research

In summary, Limits are values that a function approaches. They can be thought of as the maximum amount of a quantity that can be reached. For example, when lifting weights, your limit would be the maximum amount of weight you can lift. Limits are also used in derivatives, which have practical applications in many areas such as physics, economics, and engineering.

I think he means an easy explanation for them. A limit is a value that a function approaches.
For example, you are lifting weights one day and you decide to increase the weights at small increments. Eventually you will approach a maximum amount of weight or what you may call your limit. If you go over that limit, you may decide to decrease weights in small increments until you reach the most weight that you can lift.
So limits would be like the actual max amount of pounds you can lift.
I hope this is precise and concise enough to help and give you a full understanding.
This graph shows a limit as x approaches infinity. It's limit is whatever L is:
Now, one major practical use of limits are derivates.

thank u...
1. What is the definition of "limits" in practical terms?
Limits refer to the maximum or minimum value that a system, process, or parameter can reach before it is no longer effective or safe. It is a boundary that restricts or sets a threshold for a particular action or behavior.
2. How are limits determined in scientific experiments?
Limits in scientific experiments are often determined through rigorous testing and analysis of data. This can involve setting predetermined criteria or thresholds for a certain outcome, or observing the behavior of a system under various conditions to determine its limitations.
3. Can limits change over time?
Yes, limits can change over time as new technology, knowledge, or understanding is gained. What was once considered a limit may no longer be relevant or may be surpassed through advancements in science and technology.
4. Are limits necessary in scientific research?
Yes, limits are necessary in scientific research as they help to guide and inform the design and execution of experiments. They also serve as a safeguard against potential harm or damage that may occur if a system or process exceeds its limits.
5. How can understanding limits be beneficial in everyday life?
Understanding limits can be beneficial in everyday life as it allows us to set realistic expectations and goals for ourselves and others. It also helps us to make informed decisions and avoid potentially harmful or dangerous situations.
