Finding limits when given 2 different limits.Let lim x → − 1 f ( x ) = 8 and lim x → − 1 g ( x ) = − 4. Find lim x → − 1 f ( x ) g ( x ) Answer Choices are:A. − 2B. 12C. − 1 / 2D. − 1I started out trying to solve this problem by attempting to use a derivative formula which just overcomplicated the problem and did not lead me to any of the potential answer choices.I was struggling with this problem as I did not understand the limit laws and upon further review I understood them well enough to realize that I should have just simply plugged in my f ( x ) and g ( x ) values to get my final answer of − 2Is this okay?

Using the limit rules and the help provided by other people I was able to determine that the final answer is -2I also realize now that I way over thinking this question. It has been a long day of math I am sorry for asking such an obvious one when the answer was as right in front of me in the form of basic math.

hint:       lim          x      →      c                  f      (      x      )              g      (      x      )        =      L    H   where       lim          x      →      c        f  (  x  )  =  L and provided       lim          x      →      c        g  (  x  )  =  H  ≠  0
