Proof of the product rule of limits

191 Views Asked by At

In the proof of the product law of limits, (by the ε-δ definition, I mean) you assume:

$$\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x)= L \qquad \lim_{x \rightarrow a} g(x) = M$$ and want to prove that

$$\lim_{x \rightarrow a} (f.g)(x)= L.M$$ ​ By the definition, we got to find an $δ$ such that given an $ε>0$,

$$| x-a | < δ \Rightarrow | f(x).g(x)-L.M | < \varepsilon$$

After some manipulation, we get :

$$ | f(x).g(x)-L.M | < | f(x) | . | (g(x)-M) | + | M | . | f(x)-L | $$

Then, in the proof, we usually let $δ_1=1$ and proceed from there.

My question is: Why do we have to assume first that $δ_1=1$?

My suggestion would be:

Let, for some $δ_1, | f(x)-L | < \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | } $

Then, we would get

$$| f(x).g(x)-L.M | < | f(x) | . | (g(x)-M) | + \frac{ \varepsilon }{2}$$

$$| f(x)-L | < \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | }$$

Because of this assumption,

$$| f(x)-L | < \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | } \Rightarrow | f(x) | < \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | } + | L |$$

Now we got

$$| f(x).g(x)-L.M | < ( \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | } + | L | ) . | (g(x)-M) | + \frac{ \varepsilon }{2} $$

If we just let, for some $δ_2, | (g(x)-M) | < \frac{ \frac{ \varepsilon }{2} }{( \frac{ \varepsilon }{2. | M | } + | L | ) }$, wouldn't that let us say that

$(| f(x).(g(x)-M| + | M | . | f(x)-L |) < \frac{ \varepsilon }{2} + \frac{ \varepsilon }{2} = \varepsilon$? (choosing the minimum between the $2$ deltas)

that means that your delta restrictions would have some $x'$s on them. Is that a problem?

Thank you so much!
