Real Analysis Proof
Can someone check my work? I've attached it. Thanks!

It is wrong. Becauase $y\not = f(x)$, $y$ is some other point in the set. So $|x-y|<\delta$ are all points in the set so that this is true and not $|x-f(x)|<\delta$.

Ok, change all the f(x)'s to y's. Then, I think, it is correct.

Good proof.

In the second part where you show $(0,1]$ is not unfiormly continous, trying using the definition, i.e. show (without Cauchy sequences) that you can violate the definition of uniform continuity.
