Question
Let $\mathbf{r}(t)$ and $\mathbf{u}(t)$ be vector-valued functions whose limits exist as $t \rightarrow c$. Prove that
Step 1
We can write $\mathbf{r}(t) = x(t)\mathbf{i} + y(t)\mathbf{j}$ and $\mathbf{u}(t) = f(t)\mathbf{i} + g(t)\mathbf{j}$. Show more…

Let $\mathbf{r}(t)$ and $\mathbf{u}(t)$ be vector-valued functions whose limits exist as $t \rightarrow c .$ Prove that $$\lim _{t \rightarrow c}[\mathbf{r}(t) \cdot \mathbf{u}(t)]=\lim _{t \rightarrow c} \mathbf{r}(t) \cdot \lim _{t \rightarrow c} \mathbf{u}(t)$$
Vector-Valued Functions
Suppose $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ are vector functions that possess limits as $t \rightarrow a$ and let $c$ be a constant. Prove the following properties of limits. $$(a)\lim _{t \rightarrow a}[\mathbf{u}(t)+\mathbf{v}(t)]=\lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{u}(t)+\lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{v}(t)$$ $$(b)\lim _{t \rightarrow a} c \mathbf{u}(t)=c \lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{u}(t)$$ $$(c)\lim _{t \rightarrow a}[\mathbf{u}(t) \cdot \mathbf{v}(t) \cdot \mathbf{v}(t)]=\lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{u}(t) \cdot \lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{v}(t)$$ $$(d)\lim _{t \rightarrow a}[\mathbf{u}(t) \times \mathbf{v}(t)]=\lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{u}(t) \times \lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{v}(t)$$
