1 General Limit Laws: X A X A

1) The document summarizes general limit laws for sums, differences, constant multipliers, products, quotients, powers, and roots as x approaches a. It states the limit laws for sums, differences, constant multipliers, and products. 2) It also lists some particular limit results, such as constants approaching a constant, the limit of x as it approaches a value, polynomials approaching their value at a, and rational functions approaching a ratio of limits. 3) The squeeze theorem and an important trigonometric limit are also mentioned.

General Limit Laws


xa xa

Suppose lim f (x) and lim g (x) both exist, and let c be any constant.

1. Sum Law: 2. Dierence Law: 3. Constant Multiplier Law: 4. Product Law:

xa

lim [f (x) + g (x)] = lim f (x) + lim g (x)


xa x a

xa

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


xa x a

xa

lim [cf (x)] = c lim f (x)


xa

xa

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

xa

lim f (x)

xa

lim g (x)

5. Quotient Law:

xa

lim

lim f (x) f (x) = xa provided lim g (x) = 0 . xa g (x) lim g (x)


xa n n x a

6. Power Law: 7. Root Law:

xa

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


n

where n is a positive integer.

xa

lim

f (x) =

xa

lim f (x) where n is a positive integer, and where lim f (x) > 0 if n is even.

Particular Limit Results


xa

1. Constants: 2. Limit of f (x) = x: 3. Polynomials: 4. Rational Functions: 5. Squeeze Theorem: 6. Important Trig Limit:

lim c = c

xa

lim x = a

If f (x) is a polynomial (for eg. f (x) = 5x3 x2 1/2) then lim f (x) = f (a) .
x a

If f (x) and g (x) are polynomials and g (a) = 0 then lim

f ( x) f (a) = . xa g (x) g (a)


xa

If f (x) g (x) h(x) for x near a and lim f (x) = lim g (x) = L, then lim f (x) = L .
