Theorem
Let $\R$ denote the real numbers.
Let $f$ and $g$ be real functions defined on an open subset $S \subseteq \R$, except possibly at the point $c \in S$.
Let $f$ and $g$ tend to the following limits:
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \map f x = l$
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \map g x = m$
Let $\lambda, \mu \in \R$ be arbitrary real numbers.
Then the following results hold:
Sum Rule
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \paren {\map f x + \map g x} = l + m$
Multiple Rule
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \lambda \map f x = \lambda l$
Combined Sum Rule
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \paren {\lambda \map f x + \mu \map g x} = \lambda l + \mu m$
Product Rule
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \paren {\map f x \map g x} = l m$
Quotient Rule
- $\ds \lim_{x \mathop \to c} \frac {\map f x} {\map g x} = \frac l m$
provided that $m \ne 0$.
