### Educational Text on Limits and Continuity

#### Problem Statement:

(a) Let \( h: S \to \mathbb{R} \) and \( c \) be a cluster point of \( S \). Show that if \( \lim_{x \to c} h(x) = L \neq 0 \), then there exists some \( \delta > 0 \) such that for all \( x \in (S \setminus \{c\}) \cap (c - \delta, c + \delta) \), \( h(x) \neq 0 \).

(b) Let \( h: S \to \mathbb{R} \) be continuous and \( c \) be a cluster point of \( S \). Show that if \( h(c) \neq 0 \), then there exists some \( A \subset S \) such that \( c \) is a cluster point of \( A \), \( h|_{A}(x) \neq 0 \) for all \( x \in A \), and

\[
\lim_{x \to c} \left(\frac{1}{h|_{A}(x)}\right) = \frac{1}{\lim_{x \to c} (h|_{A}(x))} = \frac{1}{h(c)}
\]

#### Footnote:

1 Most trigonometric identities and inequalities have "geometric" proofs, so it doesn't count as "cheating" to use them to prove facts about calculus. See [Wikipedia link on Proofs of Trigonometric Identities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric_identities) for example.

#### Note:

This result allows us to "abuse notation". We get a slightly more general notion of Corollary 3.1.12.iv and write

\[
\lim_{x \to c} \left(\frac{1}{h(x)}\right) = \frac{1}{\lim_{x \to c} h(x)}
\]

even though strictly speaking, \( 1/h(x) \) might not be defined for all \( x \in S \). 

This text discusses limits in calculus, providing conditions under which a function does not equal zero within a specified interval, along with how such properties extend to continuous functions. The focus is on understanding how these mathematical limits behave and are manipulated formally.
