Limits Sum Rule:

If and , then .

Proof:

We want to prove that .

Let be given. We need to find such that if then


.

By the triangle inequality,

We can make less than by making each of the terms and


less than .

Since and , there exists a number such that if then

Similarly, since , there exists a number such that if then

Let . Notice that if then and and so

and .

Thus, by the triangle inequality,

Therefore, .
