Problem 100. Use the definition of continuity to show that if m and b are fixed
(but unspecified) real numbers then the function
f(x) = mx +b
is continuous at every real number a.
CONTINUITY: WHAT IT ISN'T AND WHAT It Is
106
Example 10. Use the definition of continuity to show that f(x) = r² is con-
tinuous at a = 0.
Proof: Let e > 0. Let 8 = VE. If | x – 0| < 8, then |r| < VE. Thus
|2² – 0°| = | æ|² < (VE) = e.
Thus by the definition, f is continuous at 0.
Notice that in these proofs, the challenge of an e > 0 was first given. This
is because the choice of & must depend upon ɛ. Also notice that there was no
explanation for our choice of d. We just supplied it and showed that it worked.
As long as & > 0, then this is all that is required. In point of fact, the d we
chose in each example was not the only choice that worked; any smaller å would
work as well.
Problem 101.
(a) Given a particular e > 0 in the definition of continuity, show that if a
particular do > 0 satisfies the definition, then any 8 with 0 < ô < ôo will
also work for this e.
(b) Show that if a d can be found to satisfy the conditions of the definition of
continuity for a particular eo > 0, then this & will also work for any e
with 0< €o <E.
