Algebra of Limits

Rules for calculating the limits of combinations of functions.

Standard Limit Rules

If $\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$ and $\lim_{x \to a} g(x)$ both exist, then:

$$\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) + g(x)] = \lim_{x \to a} f(x) + \lim_{x \to a} g(x)$$$$\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) \cdot g(x)] = \lim_{x \to a} f(x) \cdot \lim_{x \to a} g(x)$$

A Standard Trigonometric Limit

$$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$$
