Q

note

A
  • Since limits are just numbers, a lot of the properties of real numbers also apply to limits.
  • Taking the limit of a function is an operation, but the resulting limit is just a number. Therefore, it makes sense that limits have a lot of the same properties that numbers do.
  • The limit of a sum of two functions is equal to the sum of the limits.
  • The limit of a difference of two functions is equal to the difference of the limits.
  • The limit of a product of two functions is equal to the product of the limits.
  • The limit of a quotient of two functions is equal to the quotient of the limits, provided that the denominator does not equal zero.
  • The limit of a function multiplied by a constant is equal to the constant multiplied by the limit.
    In addition, the limit of a function raised to a power is equal to the limit raised to that power.
