Limit is multiplicative: Difference between revisions

Statement

Suppose $f$ and $g$ are functions of one variable. Suppose $c \in R$ is such that both $f$ and $g$ are defined on the immediate left and the immediate right of $c$ . Further, suppose that the limits $lim_{x \to c} f (x)$ and $lim_{x \to c} g (x)$ both exist (as finite numbers). In that case, the limit of the pointwise product of functions $f \cdot g$ exists and is the product of the individual limits:

$lim_{x \to c} (f \cdot g) (x) = lim_{x \to c} f (x) \cdot lim_{x \to c} g (x)$

Equivalenty:

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