Find the indicated limit given the following.
lim_(x->a)f(x) = 8
lim_(x->a)(2f(x)) =
To find the limit of (2f(x)) as x approaches a, we can use the limit laws. According to the constant multiple rule, if the limit of f(x) as x approaches a exists and is equal to L, then the limit of (cf(x)) as x approaches a is equal to cL, where c is a constant.
In this case, since the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is 8, we can multiply it by 2 to find the limit of (2f(x)) as x approaches a. Therefore, the limit of (2f(x)) as x approaches a is 2 * 8 = 16.
