# Math Help - Limits

1. ## Limits

Prove the following limit of a function using the definition of a limit (where c>0)

$\lim_{x\rightarrow{c}}{\frac{1}{x^3}} = \frac{1}{c^3}$

2. You need to give a formula for delta. It will depend on epsilon and c.

3. ## Proving the limit of a function

In response to the reply,no formula for delta depending on epsilon or c was given.For completeness sake,i will state the definition.

DEFINITION
Let $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, and let c be a cluster point of $A$. For a function $f : A \rightarrow{\mathbb{R}}$, a real number $L$ is said to be a limit of $f$ at c if, given any $\epsilon > 0$ there exists a $\delta > 0$ such that if $x \in A$ and $0 < \mid x - c \mid < \delta$ then $\mid f(x) - L \mid < \epsilon$.

QUESTION
Prove the following limit of a function using the (above) definition where
c > 0
$\lim_{x \rightarrow{c}}{\frac{1}{x^3}} = \frac{1}{c^3}$

4. You need to find a formula for delta, depending on epsilon and c, such that the above definition will be satisfied for any epsilon>0 and any c>0.
