**Problem 4:**

Use the \( \epsilon, \delta \) definition to show that \( \lim_{{x \to 1}} (4x + 5) = 9 \).

**Solution:**

To demonstrate this using the \( \epsilon, \delta \) definition of a limit, we need to show that for every \( \epsilon > 0 \), there exists a \( \delta > 0 \) such that if \( 0 < |x - 1| < \delta \), then \( |(4x + 5) - 9| < \epsilon \).

Let's go through the process:

1. Start with the expression \( |(4x + 5) - 9| \).
2. Simplify: 

   \[
   |4x + 5 - 9| = |4x - 4| = 4|x - 1|
   \]

3. We require \( 4|x - 1| < \epsilon \).
4. Solve for \( |x - 1| \):

   \[
   |x - 1| < \frac{\epsilon}{4}
   \]

5. Set \( \delta = \frac{\epsilon}{4} \).

Now, for a given \( \epsilon > 0 \), if we choose \( \delta = \frac{\epsilon}{4} \), then whenever \( 0 < |x - 1| < \delta \), it follows that \( |(4x + 5) - 9| < \epsilon \).

This confirms that \( \lim_{{x \to 1}} (4x + 5) = 9 \) using the \( \epsilon, \delta \) definition of a limit.
