Use the precise definition of a limit to prove the following limit. Specify a relationship between ɛ and & that guarantees the lim
lim (8x-5)= -5
Let &>0 be given. Choose the correct proof below.
O A. Choose 8 =
8°
Then, (8x-5)- -5|<ɛ whenever 0< |x- 0| < 8.
OB. Choose & = 8ɛ. Then, |(8x-5)--5 <ɛ whenever 0< |x-0|< 8.
O C. Choose 8 =
Then, (8x-5)- - 5|<e whenever 0 < |x- 0| <8.
OD. Choose 8= e. Then, (8x- 5)- - 5 <ɛ whenever 0< x-0<8.
O E. None of the above proofs is correct.
