Let $f:(-infty, 1) cup (1,infty) to mathbbR$ be defined by $f(x)=fracx^3-1x-1$ . Prove that $lim _xto 1f(x)=3$



i am proving this problem by limit of the definition



$|f(x)-3|=left|fracx^3-1x-1-3right|=|x^2+x-2|=|x-1||x+2|leq |x-1|(|x|+2)=4|x-1|<epsilon $ as i choose $|x-1|<delta=epsilon/4$



how to prove this by sequence of limit



ie how to prove by if $x_n to 1$ then $f(x_n)to 3$

Let it be given that $x_n to 1$. This means you can make $|x_n-1| < epsilon$, taking $n$ big enough.



We want to show $f(x_n) to 3$, so we want to show that we can make |$f(x_n)-3|<epsilon$, by taking large enough $n$.



But you know that $|f(x_n)-3| = |x_n-1||x_n+2|$. The first factor can be made $ < epsilon$ by assumption, and the second one can be made arbitrarily close to $3$ for a large enough $n$.



All that's left is writing up all the details.

    You already know that $f(x)-3=x^2+x-2$. If $x_n to 1$ then $x_n^2 to 1$ so $f(x)-3 to 1+1-2=0$ and $f(x) to 3$.

            How to combine Bézier curves to a surface?

            圖片
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite My aim is to smooth the terrain in a video game. Therefore I contrived an algorithm that makes use of Bézier curves of different orders. But this algorithm is defined in a two dimensional space for now. To shift it into the third dimension I need to somehow combine the Bézier curves. Given two curves in each two dimensions, how can I combine them to build a surface? I thought about something like a curve of a curve. Or maybe I could multiply them somehow. How can I combine them to cause the wanted behavior? Is there a common approach? In the image you can see the input, on the left, and the output, on the right, of the algorithm that works in a two dimensional space. For the real application there is a three dimensional input. The algorithm relays only on the adjacent tiles. Given these it will define the control points of the mentioned Bézier cur...
