Limit Laws
used as alternative ways in solving the limit of a function without
using table of values and graphs.
In the following statements, c is a constant, and f and g are functions
which may or may not have c in their domains. We also assume that the
limits of f and g both exist as x approaches c and that they are L and M,
respectively. In other words, lim f (x )=L and lim g ( x )=M .

Examples:
a. If lim f (x )=3 , then lim [4∗f ( x )]=4 lim f ( x ) =4∗3=12

b. If lim f (x )= , then lim [ −2∗f ( x ) ] =−2 lim f ( x )= =−1

Note:
The Sum, Difference, and Product Rules may be applied to sums,
differences, and products of more than two functions.
The Constant Multiple Rule is a special case of the Product Rule.
Indeed, in the Product Rule, if the first function f(x) is a constant
function, the result is the Constant Multiple Rule.
lim f ( x )
f ( x ) x →c L
7. Quotient Rule.lim = = , provided M ≠ 0
x →c g ( x ) lim g ( x ) M
x→c
Examples:
lim f ( x )
f ( x ) x →c 1 −1
lim = = =
x →c g ( x ) lim g ( x ) −3 3
x→c
lim f ( x )
f ( x ) x →c 2
lim = = which is not defined.
x →c g ( x ) lim g ( x ) 0
x→c
Therefore, the limit does not exist (DNE)
