MathLiveOne-sided limit
The one-sided limit gives the value that f(x) approaches as x tends to a using only values on one side of a, either greater than a (right-hand limit, written a^+) or less than a (left-hand limit, written a^-). The two-sided limit exists exactly when both one-sided limits exist and are equal.
\lim_{x\to a^+}f(x)What the symbols mean
