Epsilon Delta with infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x->infinity 1/x^4=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, you'd say \(x>\delta\) rather than \(|x-a|<\delta\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everything else stays the same.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[\forall\epsilon>0 \space \exists M>0 \space s.t. x>m \implies|f(x)-L|<\epsilon\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we may assume m is positive, but it does not have to be....

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so \[let \space m_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{\epsilon}}\]\[let \space m =max\{1,m_0\}\]then \[x>m \implies|\frac{1}{x^4}-0|=\frac{1}{x^4}<\frac{1}{m^4}<\epsilon\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that shuold be\[\frac{1}{x^4}\le\frac{1}{m^4}<\epsilon\]\

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

i think this is correct.... how does that look @wio ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know \(x^{-4}\leq m^{-4}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks right though

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

because x>m and m>=1 so x,m >=1 and m<x so 1/x^4<1/m^4
