How to prove of $\lim \frac{1}{|x|+1}=0$ as $x$ goes to $-\infty$?

I understand that $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{|x|+1}=0$. Let $\varepsilon>0 $ and I choose $M>0$ such that $\frac{1}{M+1}<\varepsilon$. Thus, if $x\geq M$ then $$\left|\frac{1}{ …

How to compute the norm operator of operators in $L(\mathbb R^2)$

I am trying to understand how the norm operator $$||A||=\sup \{||Ax||: x\in \mathbb R^2\text{ with } ||x||=1\}$$ works and how to calculate it for operators in $L(\mathbb R^2)$. If the operator is giv …

If $N\in \mathbb N$ and $b$ irrational, why are there finitely many rationals $r=p/q$, with ...

I am stuck with this problem: Consider $A:=\{x\in \mathbb R : x > 0\}$. Let $b\in A$ an irrational and $N\in\mathbb N$. Then there are finitely many rationals $r=p/q$, with $p,q$ coprime and $0<q\leq …

Continuity of partial derivatives of $f(x,y) =\dfrac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2}$ if $(x,y)\neq 0$...

So I got that the partial derivatives of \begin{equation*} f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2} & \text{if } (x,y) \not= (0,0),\\ 0 & \text{if } (x,y) = (0,0). …

Proving that $d(x,y)=0$ if and only if $x=y$ for a given set of continuous functions

I found the following problem: Let $X$ be the set of continuous functions from $[a,b]$ into $\mathbb R$. For $x,y\in X$ define $d(x,y)$ by $$d(x,y) = \int_a^b |x(t) - y(t)|\, dt.$$ Prove that $(X, d) …

Proving that limits at infinity are unique help

I am trying to prove that the $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}f(x)=L$ is unique, if it exists. Definition: Let $f:S\rightarrow\mathbb R$ be a function, where $\infty$ is a cluster point of $ …

Prove that $1/x^2$ is not uniformly continuous on $(0,\infty)$ using $\varepsilon$-$\delta$ ...

I am trying to prove that $f(x) = 1/x^2$ is not uniformly continuous on $(0,\infty)$ using $\varepsilon$-$\delta$ arguments. This is what I got so far. Proof: Let $\varepsilon = 1$. For every $\delta> …

How to prove that $h(x):=\int_a^bg(t-x)f(t)dt$ is Lipschitz continuous?

Assume that $f:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is continuous and $g:\mathbb R\rightarrow \mathbb R$ is Lipschitz continuous. Now define $$ h(x):=\int_a^b g(t-x)f(t)dt. $$ I want to show that $h$ is Lipsch …

Can we compute this integral $\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{1}{5+3 \cos x} dx$ using an antiderivative... [duplicate]

I was trying to compute this integral $$\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{1}{5+3 \cos x} dx$$ using the substitution method $t = \tan \frac{x}{2}$ suggested in Michael Spivak's book: Calculus 3rd ed., pages 382-383 …

Is a bounded polynomial constant? [duplicate]

I am trying this problem: If $p(x)$ is a bounded polynomial for all $x\in \mathbb R$, then $p(x)$ must be a constant. I am trying to prove it by contradition. So I assume that $p(x)$ is bounded for …
