  1. Prove, based on the definition, that: limx1(24x)=2\lim_{x \to 1} (2 - 4x) = -2

    Answers:

    1. δ=ε2,ε\delta = \frac{\varepsilon}{2}, \forall \varepsilon
    2. δ=ε4,ε\delta = \frac{\varepsilon}{4}, \forall \varepsilon
    3. δ=ε4,ε\delta = -\frac{\varepsilon}{4}, \forall \varepsilon
    4. Correct answer is not indicated.

It seems to be a limit problem where the answers provide conditions for δ\delta-ε\varepsilon reasoning related to the proof of the limit.

Would you like help solving the limit or discussing how to work with δ\delta and ε\varepsilon proofs for limits?


Here are 5 questions to expand on the topic:

  1. How is the concept of δ\delta-ε\varepsilon used to formally prove limits?
  2. Can you find the limit using a direct substitution approach first?
  3. How does the choice of δ\delta depend on ε\varepsilon in limit proofs?
  4. What is the significance of proving limits using formal definitions rather than informal calculations?
  5. Can you graphically interpret δ\delta-ε\varepsilon proofs?

Tip: When working with limits, always try direct substitution first before using more formal definitions.
