Transcribed Image Text:1. Let's take a look at limits of functions at infinity.
Given a function f: R→ R and some LER, we say f(x) converges to L as x → ∞ if
for all > 0, there exists some MER such that for all x > M,
|f(x) - L| < E
In this case, we write f(x) → Las x → ∞, or
lim f(x):= L

If f does not converge to any LER as x→∞o, we say f diverges as x→∞.
(a) Write down a corresponding definition for f(x) to converge to Las x → -∞.
Then, use the above definition and the definition you wrote to prove that

lim

(b) Suppose f: R → R satisfies
lim f(x)= lim_ f(x) = L

g(y):

for some LE R. Define a function g: R → R by

lim g(y)

Show that g is continuous at 0.
(Hint: For the E-d definition of continuity, show that you can break |y| < d into
three cases: y = 0, 1/y> 1/8, or -1/y> 1/6. This might help you find the right
value of 8.)
(c) Continuing from (b), show that if f is continuous at 0, then
lim g(y) = f(0)
