f is differentiable at x0 means the limit x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0) exists, suppose the limit is L, then by definition this means ∀ϵ>0,∃δ>0, s.t. ∣∣∣∣x−x0f(x)−f(x0)−L∣∣∣∣<ϵ,∀x∈((x0−δ,x0+δ)∩X)−{x0} Consider f∣Y, if ∀y∈(x0−δ,x0+δ)∩Y and y=x0, then since Y⊂X, we have y∈((x0−δ,x0+δ)∩X)−{x0}, so ∣∣∣∣y−x0f∣Y(y)−f∣Y(x0)−L∣∣∣∣=∣∣∣∣y−x0f(y)−f(x0)−L∣∣∣∣<ϵ Which means the limit limy→x0;y∈Y−{x0}y−x0f∣Y(y)−f∣Y(x0) exists, i.e. f∣Y is differentiable at x0.
Exercise 10.1.2
(a) implies (b): If (a) is valid, then x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=L Thus ∀ϵ>0,∃δ>0, s.t. whenever x∈([x0−δ,x0+δ]∩X)−{x0} ∣∣∣∣x−x0f(x)−f(x0)−L∣∣∣∣≤ϵ⇒∣f(x)−f(x0)−L(x−x0)∣≤ϵ∣x−x0∣ Note that if x=x0, then ∣f(x)−f(x0)−L(x−x0)∣=0≤0=ϵ∣x−x0∣. So we can conclude (b) is true. (b) implies (a): If (b) is true, then for every ϵ>0, we let x∈([x0−δ,x0+δ]∩X)−{x0}, obviously x satisfies the condition of (b) and in addition we have ∣x−x0∣=0, thus we have ∣f(x)−(f(x0)+L(x−x0))∣≤ϵ∣x−x0∣ And from this we can further have ∣∣∣∣x−x0f(x)−f(x0)−L∣∣∣∣≤ϵ which means (a) is true since x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=L
Exercise 10.1.3
If f is differentiable at x0 and we let the derivative be L, obviously ∣L∣<+∞, by Proposition 10.1.7 we can have ∀ϵ>0,∃δ>0, s.t. ∣f(x)−(f(x0)+L(x−x0))∣≤ϵ∣x−x0∣,∀x∈X,∣x−x0∣≤δ This means ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣≤(L+ϵ)∣x−x0∣,∀x∈X,∣x−x0∣≤δ Now let δ′=min(δ,δ/(L+ϵ)), then if x∈X,∣x−x0∣≤δ′, we have ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣≤ϵ, so f is continuous at x0. If instead we want to use the limit laws, we can see that x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=L⇒x→x0;x∈X−{x0}lim(f(x)−f(x0))=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limL(x−x0)⇒x→x0lim(f(x)−f(x0))=x→x0)limL(x−x0)=Lx→x0lim(x−x0)=0⇒x→x0)limf(x)=x→x0limf(x0)=f(x0)
Exercise 10.1.4
( a ) We have x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0c−c0=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}lim0=0 ( b ) We have x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0x−x0=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}lim1=1 ( c ) We have x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0(f+g)(x)−(f+g)(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0(f(x)+g(x)−f(x0)−g(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)+x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0g(x)−g(x0)=f′(x0)+g′(x0) Thus f+g is differentiable at x0 and (f+g)′(x0)=f′(x0)+g′(x0) ( d ) We have, use the “middle-man trick”, that x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0(fg)(x)−(fg)(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)(g(x)−g(x0))+(f(x)−f(x0))g(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)(g(x)−g(x0)+x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)g(x0) Use Proposition 10.1.10 and limit laws, we can further calculate: x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)(g(x)−g(x0)+x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)g(x0)=(x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limf(x))(x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0g(x)−g(x0))+g(x0)x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0f(x)−f(x0)=f(x0)g′(x0)+f′(x0)g(x0)
( e ) Combining (a) and (d), let g(x)=c, then g′(x)=0, and cf differentiable at x0, and (cf)′(x0)=(gf)′(x0)=f(x0)g′(x0)+f′(x0)g(x0)=cf′(x0) ( f ) from (e) we know –g is differentiable at x0, (−g)′(x0)=−g′(x0), thus by (a) we have (f−g)′(x0)=(f+(−g))′(x0)=f′(x0)+(−g)′(x0)=f′(x0)−g′(x0) ( g ) We have, use Proposition 10.1.10 and limit laws, x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x0(1/g)(x)−(1/g)(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}limx−x01/g(x)−1/g(x0)=x→x0;x∈X−{x0}lim(g(x)g(x0)−1x−x0g(x)−g(x0)=−g(x0)2g′(x0) ( h ) by (d) and (g), f/g is differentiable at x0, and (gf)′(x0)=(f(g1))′(x0)=f′(x0)(g1)(x0)+f(x0)(g1)′(x0)=g(x0)f′(x0)−f(x0)g(x0)2g′(x0)=(g(x0)2f′(x0)g(x0)−f(x0)g′(x0)
Exercise 10.1.5
If n=0, then f(x)=x0=1, and f′(x)=0=0x(−1)=0,x∈R−{0}, when x=0, use definition we can show f′(0)=0. Thus f is differentiable on R. Now suppose the case is true for n, then in the case of n+1, we use Theorem 10.1.13 and have f(x)=xn+1=xn⋅x is differentiable on R, and f′(x)=(xn)′x+(xn)(x)′=nxn+xn=(n+1)xn,∀x∈R Thus the induction hypothesis holds.
Exercise 10.1.6
Use negative induction, first let n=−1, so f(x)=x−1, then f′(x)=−x−2, the induction hypothesis is satisfied. Now suppose for negative integer n the induction holds, let f(x)=xn−1=xn⋅x−1, by Theorem 10.1.13 f(x) is differentiable on R−{0}, and f′(x)=(xn)′(x−1)+xn(x−1)′=nxn−2−xn−2=(n−1)xn−2 Thus the induction hypothesis holds.
Exercise 10.1.7
We have f′(x0)=L1 and g′(y0)=L2 exists and is finite. Then for ∀ϵ>0,∃ϵ′>0 s.t. ϵ′2+∣L1∣ϵ′+∣L2∣ϵ′≤ϵ For this ϵ′, use Proposition 10.1.7, ∃δ1>0, s.t. ∣g(y)−g(y0)−L2(y−y0)∣≤ϵ′∣y−y0∣,∀y∈Y,∣y−y0∣≤δ1 For this δ1,∃δ2>0, s.t. ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣<δ1,∀x∈X,∣x−x0∣<δ2 We can also have a δ3>0, s.t. ∣f(x)−f(x0)−L1(x−x0)∣≤ϵ′∣x−x0∣,∀x∈X,∣x−x0∣≤δ3 Let δ=min(δ2,δ3), then when x∈X,∣x−x0∣≤δ, we shall have ∣f(x)−f(x0)∣<δ1, and ∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2(f(x)−f(x0))∣≤ϵ′∣f(x)−f(x0)∣ Use the triangle inequality we can further deduce ∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2(f(x)−f(x0))∣=∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2(f(x)−f(x0)−L1(x−x0))−L2L1(x−x0)∣≥∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2L1(x−x0)∣−∣L2(f(x)−f(x0)−L1(x−x0))∣ Thus ∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2L1(x−x0)∣≤∣g(f(x))−g(f(x0))−L2(f(x)−f(x0))∣+∣L2(f(x)−f(x0)−L1(x−x0))∣≤ϵ′∣f(x)−f(x0)∣+∣L2∣ϵ′∣x−x0∣≤ϵ′2∣x−x0∣+∣L1∣ϵ′∣x−x0∣+∣L2∣ϵ′∣x−x0∣=(ϵ′2+∣L1∣ϵ′+∣L2∣ϵ′)∣x−x0∣≤ϵ∣x−x0∣ Use proposition 10.1.7, we can say the function g∘f is differentiable at x0, and (g∘f)′(x0)=L2L1=g′(y0)f′(x0)
