Combining limits


We can combine limits in much the same way that we combine numbers. Scalar multiple of a limit Multiplying a function by a constant has the effect of multiplying the corresponding limit by the same constant. In symbols, let a be a real number, then [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] Alternative notation [Equation goes here - download the original pdf to see it.] Sum of limits The limit of a sum (or difference) of two limits is the sum (or difference) of the limits.
