Sec. 3] Limits 23<br />

For the existence of the limit of a function / (x) as jc-^o, it is necessary<br />

and sufficient to have the follow<strong>in</strong>g equality:<br />

/(a O)-/<br />

If the limits lim /, (x) and lim f 2 (x) exist, then the follow<strong>in</strong>g theorems.<br />

x ->a x -> a<br />

I old:<br />

and<br />

1) lim [/, (*) + /, (*)] = lim /, (x) + lim f, (x);<br />

x -+ a x -+ a x -* a<br />

2) lim [f, (x) f 2 (jc)J = lim f, (x). lim f t (x);<br />

x-*a x -* a x -* a<br />

3) lim [f , W/^ (JK)J = lim /, (x)l lim ^ (x) (lim f, (x) ^ 0).<br />

x - o * -# a jc -* a Jt -^ a<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g two limits are frequently used:<br />

Example 2. F<strong>in</strong>d the limits on the right and left of the function<br />

as x ->-0.<br />

Solution. We have<br />
