Packet 3: Tossup 21

The “inverse” type of this concept in category theory can be used to define p-adic numbers. If this concept exists for every Cauchy ("KOH-shee") sequence in a space, metric spaces are considered complete. “Superior” and “Inferior” types of this operation are equal when a series converges. Two unrelated functions are used to compute this operation in the (*) squeeze theorem. Bernard Bolzano defined this operation in terms of Epsilon and Delta. Taking a derivative of the numerator and denominator can compute this operation using L’Hôpital’s rule. For ten points, name this operation that finds the value that a function approaches. ■END■

ANSWER: limit [accept limit inferior or limit superior; accept inverse limit; accept the epsilon-delta definition of a limit]
