Question 1163650: Prove lim x^3 = 1 as x approaches 1 using precise definition of limits
This is how far I got and my line of thought not sure if I am making any conceptual errors.
Basically the question wants me to show that whenever they give me a e>0 value, I can return a &>0 value whereby
0<|x-1|<& --> |x^3 - 1|
I tried to express the right hand inequality in terms of |x-1| so that I can relate to the left hand inequality.
|(x-1)(x^2 + x + 1)|
|(x-1)((x-1)^2 + 3(x-1) - 3)|
If I were to modulus all the x-1, I will get this inequality
||x-1|(|x-1|^2 + 3|x-1| - 3)| >= |(x-1)((x-1)^2 + 3(x-1) - 3)|
And if I were to convert it further to & terms,
&(&^2 + 3& - 3) > ||x-1|(|x-1|^2 + 3|x-1| - 3)| < e
&(&^2 + 3& -3) < e
So from here I am not too sure how to go about it. Please advise

Question 1164234: The numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 are to be entered into the 10 boxes shown below, so that each number is used exactly once:
P = (blank + blank + blank + blank+ blank)(blank + blank + blank + blank + blank)
What is the maximum value of P? What is the minimum value of P?
Blank stands for the empty boxes that were in the original problem.

Can you solve with the AM GM inequality? I don't really get it.

Question 1164459: Determine whether the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, give a reason.
{x|x is in N} = {x|x is in W and x > 0}
1 True. The set of natural numbers is equal to the set of whole numbers greater than 0.
2 False. The set of natural numbers is the same as the set of whole numbers.
3 False. The set of whole numbers is equal to the set of natural numbers greater than 0.
4 False. The set of integers is equal to the set of whole numbers greater than 0.
