Theorem
Let $\sequence {z_n}$ and $\sequence {w_n}$ be sequences in $\C$.
Let $\sequence {z_n}$ and $\sequence {w_n}$ be convergent to the following limits:
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} z_n = c$
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} w_n = d$
Let $\lambda, \mu \in \C$.
Then:
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \paren {\lambda z_n + \mu w_n} = \lambda c + \mu d$
Proof
From the Multiple Rule for Complex Sequences, we have:
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \paren {\lambda z_n} = \lambda c$
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \paren {\mu w_n} = \mu d$
The result now follows directly from the Sum Rule for Complex Sequences:
- $\ds \lim_{n \mathop \to \infty} \paren {\lambda z_n + \mu w_n} = \lambda c + \mu d$
