Limits Cheat Sheet

Limit Properties

If the limit of f ( x ) , and g ( x ) exists, then the following apply:


Sy

limx→a ( x ) = a

limx→a [ c · f ( x ) ] = c · limx→af ( x )
m

c ] = ( limx→af ( x ) ) c
limx→a [ ( f ( x ) )
bo

limx→a [ f ( x ) ± g ( x ) ] = limx→af ( x ) ± limx→ag ( x )


la

limx→a [ f ( x ) · g ( x ) ] = limx→af ( x ) · limx→ag ( x )


b

limx → af ( x )
[ ( )] =
( )
limx→a f x
g x limx → ag ( x )
, where limx→ag ( x ) ≠ 0

Limit to Infinity Properties

For limx→cf ( x ) = ∞,limx→cg ( x ) = L, the following apply:

limx→c [ f ( x ) ± g ( x ) ] = ∞

limx→c [ f ( x ) g ( x ) ] = ∞, L>0

limx→c [ f ( x ) g ( x ) ] = −∞, L<0

limx→c g ( x ) = 0
f(x)

n
limx→∞ ( ax ) = ∞, a>0

n
limx→ −∞ ( ax ) = ∞, n is even, a>0

Limit Rules

Limit of a constant limx→ac = c

Basic Limit limx→ax = a

Squeeze Theorem Let f, g and h be functions such that for all x ∈ [ a,b ]
( except possibly at the limit point c ) ,
f( x) ≤ h (x ) ≤ g( x)
Also suppose that, limx→cf ( x ) = limx→cg ( x ) = L
Then for any a ≤ c ≤ b, limx→ch ( x ) = L

L'Hopital's Rule

xn ≠ c and yn ≠ c

Sy limn→∞xn = limn→∞yn = c
