Activity 1: Laws of Limits

File Name: Initials_Act1_Section

The Limit Laws

Assumptions: c is a constant and xf )(lim →ax and xg )(lim →ax exist

 Constant Law

The limit of a constant is the constant itself.

 Sum law (Law of addition )

The limit of a sum is the sum of the limits.

 Difference Law (Law of subtraction)

The limit of a difference is the difference of the limits.

 Constant Multiple Law

The limit of a constant times a function is the constant times the limit of the function.

 Product Law (Law of multiplication)

The limit of a product is the product of the limits.

 Quotient Law (Law of division)

The limit of a quotient is the quotient of the limits (provided that the limit of the denominator is not 0).

if

 Special limit

The limit of x is a when x approaches a.

 Power law

The limit of the power of a function is the power of the limit of the function.

if n is a positive integer.

 Power special limit

The limit of x power is a power when x approaches a.

if n is positive.
 Root special limit

where n is a positive integer. If n is positive, then it is assumed that a > 0.

 Root law
where n is positive integer. It is assumed that

if n is even.

Left and Right Hand Limit

Left hand limit:

If f(x) is defined in an interval (a, b), and f(x) approaches A
as x approaches b from the left side b, then

Left hand limit example

Right hand limit:

If f(x) is defined in an interval (a, b), and f(x) approaches A
as x approaches a from the right side a, then
