For each limit statement , use algebra to find δ > 0 in terms of > 0 so that if 0 < |x − c| < δ, then | f(x) − L| < .
For each limit statement , use algebra to find δ > 0 in terms of > 0 so that if 0 < |x − c| < δ, then | f(x) − L| < .
Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.
(a) A limit exists if there is some real number that it is equal to.
(b) The limit of as is the value .
(c) The limit of as might exist even if the value of does not.
(d) The two-sided limit of as exists if and only if the left and right limits of exists as .
