Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Limits in Calculus
Limits are fundamental in calculus, representing the value that a function approaches as the input approaches a certain point. They help in understanding the behavior of functions at specific points, especially where they may not be explicitly defined. Evaluating limits is crucial for analyzing continuity, derivatives, and integrals.

Constant Functions
A constant function is a function that always returns the same value regardless of the input. In the context of limits, if a function is constant, the limit as the input approaches any value will simply be the constant itself. For example, the limit of 18π² as x approaches 1000 is 18π², since the function does not change with x.

Exponential Functions
Evaluating Limits
Evaluating limits involves substituting the value that the variable approaches into the function, provided the function is defined at that point. For constant functions, this process is straightforward, as the limit will equal the constant value. Understanding how to evaluate limits is essential for solving more complex problems in calculus.
