By using the definition of a limit only, prove that
limx→013x+1=1
We need to find 0<|x|<δ⟹|13x+1−1|<ϵ.
I have simplified |13x+1−1| down to |−3x3x+1|
Then since x→0 we can assume $-1
Answer
If we focus on $-1
Rather than focusing on −1<x<1, focus on a smaller interval, for example |x|<14. Hence δ<14.
if −14<x<14, −34+1<3x+1<34+1
.
14<3x+1<74
|13x+4|<4
Hence 12δ<ϵ
