Exercise 4.6.4

Given f : A R and a limit point c of A , lim x c f ( x ) = L if and only if

lim x c f ( x ) = L  and  lim x c + f ( x ) = L .

Supply a proof for this proposition.

Answers

Let 𝜖 > 0 , pick δ 1 so 0 < x c < δ 1 implies | f ( x ) L | < 𝜖 , pick δ 2 so 0 < c x < δ 2 implies | f ( x ) L | < 𝜖 . Finally, set δ = min { δ 1 , δ 2 } to get | f ( x ) L | < 𝜖 when 0 < | x c | < δ , as desired.
