Homework Statement


Let f be a function let p /in R. Assume limx->p=L and L>0. Prove f(x)>L/2


The Attempt at a Solution



Let f be a function let p /in R. Given that limx->pf(x)=L and L>0. Since L[tex]\neq[/tex]0 Let [tex]\epsilon[/tex]= |L|/2. Then given any [tex]\delta[/tex]>0 and let p=0 we have |f(x)-L| = |0-L| = |L| > |L|/2=[tex]\epsilon[/tex]. Thus f(x) > |L|/2 near p.
