![(1) z approaches 0 z→0^+ approaches from right side z→0^− approaches from left side e.g. f(x)= { ((x≥0, 1)),((x<0, 2)) :} lim_(x→0^+ ) f(x)=1 lim_(x→0^− ) f(x)=2 (2) z, z_0 ∈C means that both z and z_0 are within the complex set. Simply, they are complex functions. Such as: z=1+2i if z→z_0 , then for complex z, it approaches complex z_0](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q2879.png)
