Epsilon delta proof help? Thanks!?
lim as x approaches 10 (3-4x/5)=-5. I get to lx-10l>-5/4E, but I need it to be less than to get it to equal delta. Where do I go from here? Thank you.
The problem is with the signs. Epsilon and delta are positive.
Lim(x->10) (3-4x/5)=-5 if and only if for any E>0 there is d>0,
so that when |x-10|<d then |(3-4x/5)-(-5)|<E
Now you know that |3-4x/5-(-5)|<E. Must be true.
So |8-4x/5|<E....now factor out(4/5)
(4/5)|10-x|<E.... But |x-10| is the same as |10-x|
(4/5)|x-10|<E
|x-10|<(5/4)E
Now choose d= (5/4E)
|x-10|<d
Hoping this helps!
