Calculus
Section 2.4

I don't need to know this stuff to succeed in Calculus. However, I would like to have your math work reply file away as future study notes and/or reference notes. How about working out 20?

lim((3/2)x-1/2, x->5)=7

0<|x-5|<δ ; |((3/2)x-1/2)-7|<ε

Step 1:

observe this: ((3/2)x-1/2)-7|=|1/2 (3 x - 1)-7|

Fix any ε>0. To have | (3 x - 1)/2-7| <ε

| (3 x - 1)-14| <2ε
|3x-15|<2ε......both side divide by 3
|x-5|<2ε/3

as ε>0

0<x-5<2ε/3
0<x<2ε/3+5

Step 2:
|x-5|<δ
-δ <x-5<δ
-δ +5<x<δ+5

as δ>0
0<x<δ+5

Observe the relation between |x-c|<δ ; |(f(x))-L|<ε

δ+5 =2ε/3+5
δ =2ε/3

Solution: δ =2ε/3

You are amazingly gifted. You learned this stuff 47 years ago and never forgot what to do.

How about the link below? No math threads until Friday.
