1. **Problem Statement:** Given \(\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = 0\), \(\lim_{x \to a} h(x) = -7\), and \(\lim_{x \to a} g(x) = 3\), find the following limits if they exist.
2. **Recall Limit Properties:**
- \(\lim (f(x) \cdot g(x)) = \lim f(x) \cdot \lim g(x)\) if both limits exist.
- \(\lim (f(x) + h(x)) = \lim f(x) + \lim h(x)\).
- \(\lim \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{\lim f(x)}{\lim g(x)}\) if \(\lim g(x) \neq 0\).
- \(\lim \sqrt{h(x)} = \sqrt{\lim h(x)}\) if the limit inside the root is non-negative.
- \(\lim (h(x))^{-1} = \frac{1}{\lim h(x)}\) if \(\lim h(x) \neq 0\).
3. **Calculate each limit:**
**a.** \(\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) \cdot g(x)] = \lim f(x) \cdot \lim g(x) = 0 \cdot 3 = 0\).
**b.** \(\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) + h(x)] = \lim f(x) + \lim h(x) = 0 + (-7) = -7\).
**c.** \(\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{\lim f(x)}{\lim g(x)} = \frac{0}{3} = 0\).
**d.** \(\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{h(x)} = \frac{0}{-7} = 0\).
**e.** \(\lim_{x \to a} \sqrt{h(x)} = \sqrt{\lim h(x)} = \sqrt{-7}\) which is not a real number, so the limit **does not exist (DNE)**.
**f.** \(\lim_{x \to a} (h(x))^{-1} = \frac{1}{\lim h(x)} = \frac{1}{-7} = -\frac{1}{7}\).
4. **Final answers:**
- a. 0
- b. -7
- c. 0
- d. 0
- e. DNE
- f. -\frac{1}{7}
