Homework Statement
Prove the Squeeze theorem when x tends to -∞
Homework Equations
Squeeze theorem:
f, g and h defined over (a-r , r+a) r>0 [itex]\forall[/itex] x[itex]\in[/itex] (a-r , r+a)
f(x)[itex]\leq[/itex]g(x)[itex]\leq[/itex]h(x)
if lim f(x) = lim h(x) = L as x[itex]\rightarrow[/itex]a
then we have lim g(x) = L as x[itex]\rightarrow[/itex]a
The Attempt at a Solution
I am having a hard time finding the right interval.
I am tempted to write:
f, g and h defined over (-∞,+∞)
Let ε>0, [itex]\exists[/itex] δ1, δ2>0:
f(x)[itex]\leq[/itex]g(x)[itex]\leq[/itex]h(x)
if lim f(x) = lim h(x) = L as x[itex]\rightarrow[/itex]-∞
then we have lim g(x) = L as x[itex]\rightarrow[/itex]-∞
but then if I follow the proof my prof gave me, I'd end up with
[itex]\forall[/itex]x 0<|x- -∞|<δ1
and 0<|x- -∞|<δ2
Thanks in advance
