calculus - By using the definition of limit only, prove that limxrightarrow0frac13x+1=1




By using the definition of a limit only, prove that




limx013x+1=1




We need to find 0<|x|<δ|13x+11|<ϵ.


I have simplified |13x+11| down to |3x3x+1|



Then since x0 we can assume $-1No sure if the solution is correct


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
