Limits of Composite Function
Answered
In the video, Sal said that limit of f(g(x)) is f of limit of g(x), but shouldn't it be limit of f of limit of g of x?
No, you don't need the extra limit on the outside.
lim x->c g(x) is going to be some constant number, provided that the limit exists. For the sake of my argument, let's suppose that limit is 4.
So, lim x->c f( lim x->c g(x) ) is the same thing as lim x->c f(4), which is just f(4). After finding the inside limit, x is no longer part of the expression, so the outside limit isn't necessary.
Hope that makes sense!
