Let A ⊆ R, let f : A → R be a function, and let c be a limit point of A. Suppose that a student copied down the following definition of the limit of f at c: “we say that limx→c f(x) = L provided that, for all ε > 0, there exists a δ ≥ 0 such that if 0 < |x − c| < δ and x ∈ A, then |f(x) − L| < ε”. What was...

Let A = R x R, and let a relation S be defined as: “(x1, y1) S (x2, y2) ⬄ points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)are 5 units apart.” Determine whether S is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive. If the answer is “yes,” give a justification (full proof is not needed); if the answer is “no” you must give a counterexample.
