Our bidirectional proof will begin with a direct proof, using the epsilon delta definition of the limit of a function to prove an arbitrary sequence behaves as we desire. Then we use a contradiction proof for the opposite direction, assuming the sequence part of the theorem, but then supposing for contradiction that the limit of the function is not L. #realanalysis This theorem on functional limits and sequential limits allows us to use our results about sequences to prove results about functional limits, and also gives us a simple criterion for a function not having a limit: namely, if we find two sequences in the domain converging to c but for which the sequences of their images have different limits, then the function itself does not have a limit at c.
