Question

My professor gave me these two questions about my proof. Please answer with plenty of details. Thanks!

1.In your linear proof, specifically the a = 0 case, you used delta = epsilon, which worked just fine.  What are examples of two other choices of delta that would also have worked?

2.In your quadratic proof, is there any danger of this denominator being 0: |a|*(1 + 2|p|) + |b|?  Explain.

* la(x + p) + b| <|(x – p)| + lb| by Triangle Inequality
= la|lx + p| + |b|
< lal · (1x| + \pl) + |b| by Triangle Inequality
= lal - (lpl +1+ |pl) + |b], Since |x| < \p] + ô
= Ial • (2]p| + 1) + |비 > 이
Therefore, by the definition of continuity this shows g(x)is continuous at p e R.

Let IC R be an open interval, let c EI, let f:1- {c) - R be a function and let L

Therefore, by the definition of continuity this shows f is continuous at c.
if for each e > 0, there is some 8 > 0 such that x EI- {c}and |x - c| < ô imply
Case 2:
If(x) – L| < E.If lim f(x) = L,we also say that f converges to L as x goes to c
a = 0, Let's say 8 = ɛ
If f converges to some real number as x goes to c, we say that lim f(x) exists.
So, we see if |x – cl < 6, then |f (x) - f(c)| = |0x + b - (0x + b)| = 0 <E.
Therefore, by the definition of continuity this shows f(x)is continuous at c E R.

Let's propose:
