MHB Prove/Disprove: Uniform Continuity of sin(sin(x))

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on proving or disproving the uniform continuity of the function sin(sin(x)) using the ε, δ definition. Participants clarify the ε, δ definition, which states that for every ε > 0, there exists a δ > 0 such that if |x - y| < δ, then |f(x) - f(y)| < ε for all x, y in the domain. A hint is provided using the formula sin(x) - sin(y) = 2cos((x+y)/2)sin((x-y)/2) to assist in the proof. The challenge invites participants to explore the uniform continuity of the nested sine function. The conversation emphasizes understanding the ε, δ definition as a foundational concept in real analysis.

prove or disprove if the following function is uniformly continuous:

$$sin(sin(x)) $$ using the ε,δ definition

Do you know what that means? What IS the "$\epsilon, \delta$ definition"?

This is a challenge problem. solaklis wants you to find the answer...

[sp]Use the formula :
sinx-siny =$2cos\frac{x+y}{2}sin\frac{x-y}{2}$[/sp]

The $\epsilon$ $\delta$ definition for real function f(x) is :

Given $\epsilon>0$ there exists a $\delta>0$ such that :
For all x,y belonging the to domain of f(x) and $|x-y|<\delta$ then $|f(x)-f(y)|<\epsilon$
