Is it possible to calculate a limit of a piecewise function?
I tried to enter a piecewise function into the limit function but it returns:

Possibly . . . give an example, that would help.

Sure:
limit(PIECEWISE(x<1,1,x>1,0),x,1) However I entered it in using the templates. Thank you Michael C My ebook |

Doesn't work for me, either.
However, if you put in a default condition at the end, like piecewise(x<1,1,x>1,0,9) all limits get computed from the left limit x ->1^-1 returns 1 from the right limit x ->1^1 returns 0 from both sides limit x -> 1^0 returns "unidirectional limits are distincts [sic]". |
