We did limits of functions recently and I am wondering why we always required that x0 is a cluster point of the domain. Why would taking the limit not work if x0 is not a cluster point?
Our definition of a limit of a function is
Let D⊆R be a subset, x0 a cluster point of D and f:D→R a function. We say f converges to L∈R and write limx→x0f(x)=L ⟺∀ε>0∃δ>0∀x∈D∖{x0}:|x−x0|<δ⟹|f(x)−L|<ε
Our definition of a cluster point is
Let D⊆R be a subset and x0∈R. We say x0 is a cluster point of D ⟺ for every δ>0 we have D∩(x0−δ,x0−δ)∖{x0}≠∅
