In [[mathematics]], the phrase '''sufficiently large''' is used in such contexts as:
:<math>P</math> is true for sufficiently large <math>x</math>
which is actually shorthand for:
:<math>\exists~ a\in\mathbb{R}</math> such that <math>P</math> is true <math>\forall~ x\ge a</math>.
Therefore <math>a</math> exists, and a particular value for it may not be known. The phrase "sufficiently large" should not be confused with the phrases "[[arbitrarily large]]" or "[[infinity|infinitely]] large".
