functional equations - Real Analysis Proofs: Additive Functions

I'm new here and could really use some help please:




Let f be an additive function. So for all x,yR, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y).




  1. Prove that if there are M>0 and a>0 such that if x[a,a], then |f(x)|M, then f has a limit at every xR and limtxf(t)=f(x).


  2. Prove that if f has a limit at each xR, then there are M>0 and a>0 such that if x[a,a], then |f(x)|M.




if necessary the proofs should involve the δε definition of a limit.







The problem had two previous portions to it that I already know how to do. However, you can reference them to do the posted portions of the problem. Here they are:



(a) Show that for each positive integer n and each real number x, f(nx)=nf(x).



(b) Suppose f is such that there are M>0 and a>0 such that if x[a,a], then |f(x)|M. Choose ε>0. There is a positive integer N such that M/N<ε. Show that if $|x-y|
