A function f:(a,b)→R satisfies a Lipschitz condition at x0∈(a,b) if ∃M>0 and μ>0 for which the following is true:
if y∈(a,b) and |x0−y|<μ, then |f(x0)−f(y)≤M|x0−y|
ROAD MAP TO PROBLEM (provided by professor)
a) Why must there exists a δ>0 for which the following is true:
if y∈(a,b) and 0<|x0−y|<δ, then |f(x0)−f(y)x0−y−f′(x0)|<1
b) show (briefly) that for all y∈(a,b)
|f(x0)−f(y)|=|f(x0)−f(y)x0−y−f′(x0)+f′(x0)||x0−y|
c) Prove that there exists a number M>0 for which, if y∈(a,b) and 0<|x0−y|<δ, then |f(x0)−f(y)|≤M|x0−y| Hint: M will depend on the value of f at x0
d) Explain ( briefly), why, if y=x0, then |f(x0)−f(y)|≤M|x0−y|
Given that f is differentiable thus, f is continuous, therefore I can somewhat see how they got to (a), however after (a) I'm confused as to how to look at the problem.
Answer
Assume that f′(x0)≠0
For ϵ=1 exists δ>0 such that |f(x)−f(x0)||x−x0|<1+|f′(x0)|,∀x∈(x0−δ,x0+δ)
So for M=1+|f′(x0)| you have the conclusion.
We used that if: lim then \lim_{x \to x_0}|g(x)|=|l|
