The limit of the simple expression $4x$ has to calculate as $x$ approaches $7$ in this problem and this problem is useful for the beginners. The limit of the function $4x$ can be evaluated by substituting any value that is closer to $7$.
You can take any value that is closer to $7$, for example $x = 6.9917$. There are two reasons for this.
The above two points have cleared that the value of $6.9917$ closer to $7$ and substitute it to evaluate the limit of the function as $x$ approaches $7$.
$L \,=\, \displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, 7}{\normalsize (4x)}$
$\implies$ $L \,=\, 4(6.9917)$
$\implies$ $L \,=\, 4 \times 6.9917$
$\implies$ $L \,=\, 27.9668$
$\,\,\, \therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $L \,\approx\, 28$
Therefore, the limit of the function $4x$ is equal to $28$ as $x$ approaches $7$.
It can also be obtained directly by substituting $x = 7$ in the given function.
$=\,\,\, 4(7)$
$=\,\,\, 4 \times 7$
$=\,\,\, 28$
Therefore, the limit of the function $4x$ as $x$ tends to $7$ is considered as the value of the function $4x$ at $x = 7$ in calculus.
$L \,=\, \displaystyle \large \lim_{x \,\to\, 7}{\normalsize (4x)}$
$\implies$ $L \,=\, 4(7)$
$\implies$ $L \,=\, 4 \times 7$
$\,\,\, \therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $L \,=\, 28$
Theoretically, it is wrong to consider that the limit of the function $4x$ as $x$ approaches $7$ is equal to the value of the function at $x = 7$. However, it is acceptable to consider that they both are equal due to the negligible difference between the input values and also negligible difference between their corresponding values of the function.
