Properties Of Limits

Let $ b$ and $ c$ be real numbers, let $ n$ be a positive integer, and let $ f$ and $ g$ be functions with the following limits:

  $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c}f(x)=L$   and$\displaystyle \quad\lim_{x\to c}g(x)=K$      

  Constant:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} b=b$      
  Scalar multiple:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} [b f(x)]=bL$      
  Sum or difference:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} [f(x)\pm g(x)]=L\pm K$      
  Product:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} [f(x)g(x)]=LK$      
  Quotient:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{L}{K},\quad K\ne 0$      
  Power:   $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} [f(x)]^n=L^n$
