Suppose x is a real number and epsilon > 0. Prove that (x - epsilon, x epsilon) is a neighborhood of each of its members; in

other words, if y (x - epsilon, x epsilon), then there is a delta > 0 such that (y - delta , y delta ) (x - epsilon, x epsilon).

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.

Let y\in (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon). then we have that x-\epsilon. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as \delta=\min\{x+\epsilon-y,y-(x-\epsilon)\} (the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).

Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that (y-\delta,y+\delta)\subseteq  (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon), and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let z\in (y-\delta,y+\delta), then y-\delta. First, \delta \leq y-(x-\epsilon) then -\delta \geq -y+x-\epsilon hence z>y-\delta \geq x-\epsilon

On the other hand, \delta \leq x+\epsilon-y then z hence z. Combining the inequalities, we have that  x-\epsilon, therefore (y-\delta,y+\delta)\subseteq  (x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon) as required.

Three pies were made for a party. Each pie was cut into eight pieces. 3⁄8 of the apple pie was left. 1⁄2 of the cherry pie was l
miskamm [114]

Answer:

There are 13 pieces of pie left.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.

3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.

1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.

3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.

I hope I helped.

An airplane started at point K, travelled 560 miles to point L, adjusted its route and travelled another 575 miles to point M. I
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the cosine theorem:

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -abcos\beta

952^{2} =560^{2} +575^{2} -560*575cos\beta

\beta =cos^{-1} (\frac{560^{2}+575^{2}-952^{2}   }{2*560*575} )

The angle is 114.014 degrees if we substract 90 degrees it means that at point L the plane changed its angle by 24 degrees

Two quantities, Pand Q, are connected by
frez [133]

Answer:

P = 0.5Q - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

P = kQ + c

substitute Q = 60 , P = 10 into the equation

10 = 60k + c → (1)

substitute Q = 240, P = 100 into the equation

100 = 240k + c → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate c

90 = 180k ( divide both sides by 180 )

\frac{90}{180} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = k

substitute k = 0.5 into (1) and solve for c

10 = 60(0.5) + c

10 = 30 + c ( subtract 30 from both sides )

- 20 = c

then

P = 0.5Q - 20
