Evaluate the following limits.
1) illustrates the limit laws;
2) applies the limit laws in
evaluating the limit of
algebraic functions
Properties of Limits
The limit of a constant is that constant.

Properties of Limits
The limit of x as x approaches a is equal to a.

Properties of Limits
The Constant Multiple Theorem: This says that the limit of
a multiple of a function is simply that multiple of the limit of
the function.
𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒄 ⋅ 𝒇 ( 𝒙 )¿ 𝒄 𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒇 ( 𝒙 )

Properties of Limits
The Addition Theorem: This says that the limit of a sum of functions
is the sum of the limits of the individual functions.
𝒍𝒊𝒎 [ 𝒇 ( 𝒙 )+𝒈 ( 𝒙 ) ]¿ 𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒇 (𝒙)+𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒈 (𝒙)

Properties of Limits
The Multiplication Theorem: This is similar to the Addition Theorem, with
multiplication replacing addition as the operation involved. Thus, the limit of
a product of functions is equal to the product of their limits.

𝒍𝒊𝒎 [ 𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) ⋅ 𝒈 ( 𝒙 ) ]¿ 𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒇 ( 𝒙)⋅ 𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒈 (𝒙)

Properties of Limits
The Division Theorem: This says that the limit of a quotient of functions is
equal to the quotient of the limits of the individual functions, provided the
denominator limit is not equal to 0.

Properties of Limits
The Power Theorem: This theorem states that the limit of an
integer power n of a function is just that power of the limit of the
function.

Properties of Limits
The Radical/Root Theorem: This theorem states that if n is a positive integer, the
limit of the nth root of a function is just the nth root of the limit of the function,
provided the nth root of the limit is a real number. Thus, it is important to keep in
mind that if n is even, the limit of the function must be positive
