Limit from the Right

Limit from the Right
Limit from Above

A one-sided limit which, in the example Math formula showing the limit from the right: lim(x→0+) 1/x = ∞, restricts x such that x > 0.

In general, a limit from the right restricts domain variable to values greater than the number the domain variable approaches. When a limit is taken from the right it is written Mathematical limit notation: lim as x approaches 4 from the right of f(x) or limit as x approaches 0 from the right of f(x).

For example, Math formula showing the limit from the right: lim(x→0+) 1/x = ∞ since The fraction 1/x tends toward ∞ as x gets closer and closer to 0 from the right.
