Question

I have the following theorem: (Calculation rules for limits)
Let limx→a f(x) = ϕ and limx→a g(x) = γ. Then the following statements apply:
a. limx→a
(f(x) + g(x)) = ϕ + γ
b. limx→a
(f(x) − g(x)) = ϕ − γ
c. limx→a
(f(x) g(x)) = ϕ γ
d. limx→a f(x)/g(x)=ϕ/γ provided γ ≠ 0
e. limx→a f(g(x)) = limx→γ f(x).

Now I have the question , it is required to prove the statements only using the theorem given above:

Take f, a and ϕ as in theorem. Show with the calculation rules that:
a. for every k ∈ R holds limx→a kf(x) = kϕ;
b. if P(x) is a polynomial
is then limx→a P(x) = P(a);
c. for every k ∈ Q holds limx→a(f(x))k = ϕk, provided k > 0.
