In my text, it states the Basic Limit Results as follows:
For any real number ##a##, and any constant ##c##,
(i) ##\lim_{x \rightarrow a}{x}=a##
(ii) ##\lim_{x \rightarrow a}{c}=c##
Now from the previous chapter, I am used to seeing these as taking the limit of some function as the x values of that function approach some x value (a). This will give some y value if a limit exists.
Now for (i), is this saying that we are taking the limit of some x value as our x values close in on some other x value (a), and the limit is the x value that we're closing in on (a)? I don't know what to make of all the x values and it seems quite confusing.
