1. The problem is to find the limit of a function as the variable approaches a certain value. 2. The general formula for a limit is $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L$$ where $L$ is the value that $f(x)$ approaches as $x$ approaches $a$. 3. Important rules include: - If direct substitution results in a defined value, that is the limit. - If substitution results in an indeterminate form like $\frac{0}{0}$, use algebraic simplification, factoring, or L'Hôpital's Rule. 4. Since the user did not specify the function or the point to which $x$ approaches, please provide the function and the limit point for a detailed solution.
