Limit of a Constant
limx→c146 = ?

limx→c1/3 = ?
 Answer Key for
Limit of a Constant
limx→c146 = ? limx→c1/3 = ?
limx→c k = k limx→c k = k
Therefore, Therefore,
limx→c146 = 146 limx→c1/3 = 1/3
Limit of X
limx→61 x = ?

limx→1/13 x = ?
Solution and Answer for
Limit of X
limx→61 x = ? limx→1/13 x = ?
limx→c x = c limx→c x = x
Therefore, Therefore,
limx→61x = 61 limx→1/13 x = 1/13
 Constant Multiple
Limit Theorem
limx→c 17 f(x) = ?, if f(x) = 2

limx→c 5 f(x) = ?, if f(x) = 11x

 Solution and Answer for
Constant Multiple Limit Theorem

limx→c 17 f(x) = ? ,if f(x)=2 limx→4 5 f(x) = ?, if f(x)=11x

limx→c k f(x) = k * limx→c f(x) limx→c k f(x) = k * limx→c f(x)
17 * limx→c 2 = 17 * 2 5 * limx→4 11x = 5 * 44
= 34 = 220
Addition/Subtraction
Limit Theorem
2
limx→2 3x +8x = ?

limx→119x+23 = ?
 Solution and Answer for
Addition and Subtraction
Limit Theorem
limx→c [f(x)±g(x)] = limx→c f(x) ± limx→c g(x)

limx→2 3x2+8x = ? limx→1 19x-23 = ?

3 limx→2 x2 + 8 limx→2 x 19 limx→1 x - limx→1 23
(3*2) + (8*2) = 6 + 16 (19*1) - 23 = 19 - 23
= 22 = -4
Multiple / Product

limx→7 x * 32x = ?
2
limx→4 x * 26 = ?
 Answer and Solution for
Multiple Limit Theorem
limx→c [f(x)*g(x)] = limx→c f(x) * limx→c g(x)

 Division
Limit Theorem
2
limx→3 9x ÷ 40x = ?
2 4
limx→2 52x ÷ 6x = ?
 Answer and Solution
Division Limit Theorem
limx→c [f(x)÷g(x)] = limx→c f(x) ÷ limx→c g(x)
2
limx→3 9x ÷ 40x = ? limx→2 52x2 ÷ 6x4 = ?
2
9 limx→3 x ÷ 40 limx→3 x 52 limx→2 x2 ÷ 6 limx→2 x4
2
9*(3) ÷ 40*3 = 81 ÷ 120 52*(2)2 ÷ 6*(2)4 = 208 ÷ 96
= 0.675 = 2.17
 Power
Limit Theorem
2
limx→4 (7x + 31) = ?
2 2
limx→8 (6x - 19) = ?
 Answer and Solution for
Power Limit Theorem
limx→c f(x)n = [limx→c f(x)]n

limx→4 (7x + 31)2 = ? limx→8 (6x2 - 19)2 = ?

(7 limx→4 x + limx→4 31)2 (6 limx→8 x2 - limx→8 19)2
([7*4] + 31)2 = 592 (6*[8]2 - 19)2 = 292
= 3,481 = 841
 Radical
Limit Theorem
2 3
limx→9 √(49x ) = ?
2 4
limx→6 √(33x ) = ?
 Answer and Solution for
Radical Limit Theorem
limx→c n√f(x) = n√limx→cf(x)
2
limx→9 √(49x ) = ?3
limx→6 2√(33x4) = ?
2
2 3 2
√(limx→9 49x )= √(49*9 ) 3
√(limx→6 33x4)=2√(33*63)
