    How Do You Solve the Modulus Inequality x|x - 2| ≥ 1?

    For x|x - 2| \ge 1, since |x - 2| \ge 0, and for x|x - 2| \ge 1, so x > 0 Since x > 0, can I multiply the x inside to make it |{x^2} - 2x| \ge 1 ?? Or can you teach me your method of solving this question? Thanks.

    Why is restricting the x values to a closed neighborhood important?

    Say f(x) = x^2 - 1 and I'm trying to prove that f is continuous, then I was told I CANNOT do this: |x^2 - x_0^2| = |x-x_0||x+x_0| < \delta|x+x_0| = \epsilon because then our epsilon is relying on an x value. I was told I could restrict the x values to a closed neighborhood about the...
