Definition
A table of values refers to creating a chart with x-values close to a certain limit and observing what happens to the corresponding y-values. The table helps determine what value y approaches when x gets near the limit.
A property of functions where there is an interruption or jump in their graph; it indicates points where limits do not exist.
Piecewise functions: Functions defined by different equations over distinct intervals; they may require separate tables for each equation within their domain.
Extrapolation: Estimating values outside the given data range by using patterns observed in the table of values.
