Abslon!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is \(x\) approaching?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes abslon
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
epsilon :)
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
what is dote?

xo
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
what is xo ?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
\[\lim_{x\rightarrow?}x^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its continuous property
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when we use epsilon - delta and say x^2-2 <EPSLION

Does x approach \(2\)? Does x approach \(\sqrt 2\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the first on x approach 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(x)=x^2 at x0 =2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well as \(x\to 2\) then \(x^2\to 4\). Right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
|x-2|<\delta \implies |x^2-4|<\epsilon
\]

\[
|x-2|<\delta \implies |x-2||x+2|<\epsilon
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have to say first and prove /x^2-2/epsilon
OpenStudy (anonymous):
< epsilon
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay sorry, but you obviously are confused..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
\lim_{x\to a}f(x)=L
\]You need to decide what \(a\) and \(L\) are. Let me assure you they both can't be \(2\) because \(2^2\neq 2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes sorry I know because its hard to write the symbol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes I think I have to prove that f(x) is continues if f(x)=x^2 at x0= 2
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
to denote \(x_0\) write x_0
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
ok do you need to prove something is continuous or do you need to prove the limit?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay sorry about yhat

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
no need to be sorry:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I need to prove it continues
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
so you need to prove x^2 is continuous at x = 2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
RIGHT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So show \(f(2) = L\) and then show \(\lim_{x\to 2}f(x) = L\)

No abslons needed.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no in the question say use epsilon - delta
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay so first let's find out \(L\). Can you do that?
