Limits are defined as the value that a certain input seems to equal based on similar inputs. This means that while looking at a graph that seems to approach a point, even if it is a piece-wise function and is actually elsewhere, what it looks like is what the limit equals. Limits are very useful for identifying the value of holes in functions because of dividing by zero. However, limits do not exist at certain points in graphs because of asymptotes where the graphs head in opposite directions (To infinity, To negative infinity).
