Statement

Suppose f and g are functions of one variable. Suppose cR is such that both f and g are defined on the immediate left and the immediate right of c. Further, suppose that the limits limxcf(x) and limxcg(x) both exist (as finite numbers). In that case, the limit of the pointwise product of functions fg exists and is the sum of the individual limits:

limxc(fg)(x)=limxcf(x)limxcg(x)

Equivalenty:

limxc[f(x)g(x)]=limxcf(x)limxcg(x)
