(a) Let f: [0, ∞) → R be defined by f(x) = √x. Show that lim f(x) ce [0, ∞). Is f a continuous function? 24x = √e for all (Remark: You may use the fact that 0 ≤ a < b if and only if √a < √b. As a hint on how to play the & games, look at the proof of Proposition 2.2.6 in the textbook.) (b) Let f: R → R be defined by f(x) := cos(x). Show that lim f(x) = cos(c) for all c € R. Is f a continuous function? X-C (Remark: You may use trigonometric identities here, and the fact that |sin(x)| ≤ |x|, and |sin(x)| ≤ 1 for all x € R. See Example 3.2.6 in the textbook for the necessary algebra; however, you will need explain all of the steps of the proof to receive credit.)

Question

Prove the following, using the ε-δ definition of the limit of a function:

(a) Let f [0, ∞) → R be defined by f(x) = √. Show that lim f(x)
ce [0, ∞). Is f a continuous function?
X→C
=
√c for all
(Remark: You may use the fact that 0 ≤ a < b if and only if √a < √b. As a hint on
how to play the ɛ games, look at the proof of Proposition 2.2.6 in the textbook.)
(b) Let ƒ : R → R be defined by f(x) := cos(x). Show that lim f(x) = cos(c) for all c € R.
Is f a continuous function?
X→C
(Remark: You may use trigonometric identities here, and the fact that |sin(x)| ≤ |x|,
and sin(x)| ≤ 1 for all x € R. See Example 3.2.6 in the textbook for the necessary
algebra; however, you will need explain all of the steps of the proof to receive credit.)
