When f(x), L, x, and a are real numbers, the distance between two numbers is the absolute value of the difference of the two. Thus, when we say f(x) is close to L we mean | f ( x ) â L | {\displaystyle |f(x)-L|} is small. When we say that x and a are close, we mean that | x â a | {\displaystyle |x-a|} is small.
