Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

such δ.) What limit does this prove?

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and \varepsilon>0, we want to find a \delta such that |f(x)-14|

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that |x-5|. Then

|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta.

Then, if |x-5|, then |f(x)-14|. So, in this case, if 3\delta \leq \varepsilon we get that |f(x)-14|. The maximum value of delta is \frac{\varepsilon}{3}.

By definition, this procedure proves that \lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14. Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.
