Limits of functions<br />

Note. In Exercise 4.10 through 4.28, all functions are real valued.<br />

4.10 Let f be defined on an opne interval a, b and assume x a, b. Consider the<br />

two statements<br />

(a) lim h0 |fx h fx| 0;<br />

(b) lim h0 |fx h fx h| 0.<br />

Prove that (a) always implies (b), and give an example in which (b) holds but (a) does<br />

not.<br />

Proof: (a) Since<br />

lim|fx h fx| 0 lim|fx h fx| 0,<br />

h0 h0<br />

we consider<br />

|fx h fx h|<br />

|fx h fx fx fx h|<br />

|fx h fx| |fx fx h| 0ash 0.<br />

So, we have<br />

lim|fx h fx h| 0.<br />

h0<br />

(b) Let<br />

fx <br />

lim|f0 h f0 h| 0,<br />

h0<br />

but<br />

lim|f0 h f0| lim||h| 1| 1.<br />

h0 h0<br />

So, (b) holds but (a) does not.<br />

Remark: In case (b), there is another example,
