It expresses that the value of $m$ approaches to $n$ but they are not equal.Earliest Uses of Symbols of Calculus Earliest Uses of Symbols of Calculus It expresses that the value of $h$ tends to $0$ but it doesn’t equal to $0$. It expresses that the value of $y$ approaches $7$ but not equal to $7$. Let’s study the concept of approach or tend in calculus with some more examples. The meaning of $x \,\to\, a$ is, the value of $x$ can be anything, which is close to the value of $a$ but not equal to $a$. In this case also, the value of $5.99$ does not equal to $6$ but approximately equals to $6$. Remember, the right arrow represents that the value of $x$ closes the value of $a$ but they’re not equal. Mathematically, it is written as $5.9 \,\to\, 6$.
