3 Limit Laws and Properties


Limit Laws: Suppose that 𝑐 is a constant and the following limits exists lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑀 and lim 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑁. Then
!→# !→#

1) lim [𝑓(𝑥) ± 𝑔(𝑥)] = _______________________________________________________________


!→#

2) lim [𝑐𝑓(𝑥)] = __________________________________________________________________


!→#

3) lim [𝑓(𝑥)𝑔(𝑥)] = __________________________________________________________________


!→#

$(!)
4) lim = __________________________________________________________________
!→# '(!)

Note: lim 𝑔(𝑥) ≠ 0


!→#

5) lim [𝑓(𝑥)]( = __________________________________________________________________


!→#

$
6) lim 0𝑓(𝑥) = __________________________________________________________________
!→#

Note: If 𝑛 is even, we assume that lim 𝑓(𝑥) > 0

Example: Given the following limits answer the questions below. If the limit does not exist, explain why.

lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 3 lim 𝑔(𝑥) = −9 lim ℎ(𝑥) = 0


!→) !→) !→)

1) lim [2𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)] = _________

'(!)*(!)
2) lim 7 8 = _________
!→) $(!)

3) lim = _________
!→) *(!)

(S) 4) lim 0𝑓(𝑥)𝑔(𝑥) = _________
!→)

Example: The graphs of 𝑓 and 𝑔 are given. Use them to evaluate each limit if it exists. If the limit does not exist

explain why.

1) lim [𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)] = ___________


!→+

2) lim [𝑓(𝑥)𝑔(𝑥)] = ___________ 3) 𝑔(0) + lim 𝑓(𝑥) = _____________


!→, !→-.

$(!)
(S) 4) lim [𝑥 + 𝑓(𝑥)] = _____________ (S) 5) lim 7 8 = _____________

Theorem: If _____________________________when 𝑥 is near 𝑎 (except possibly at 𝑎) and the limit of 𝑓 and 𝑔

both exist as 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, then

lim 𝑓(𝑥) ____________ lim 𝑔(𝑥)


!→# !→#

If ________________________________ when 𝑥 is near 𝑎 (except possibly at 𝑎) and the limit of 𝑓 and 𝑔 both exist

as 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, then

lim 𝑓(𝑥) ____________ lim 𝑔(𝑥)


!→# !→#

The Squeeze Theorem: If _____________________________________when 𝑥 is near 𝑎 (except possibly at 𝑎) and

lim 𝑓(𝑥) = lim ℎ(𝑥) = _____________Then lim 𝑔(𝑥) = ___________.
