Use the ε-δ definition of limits to prove that lim x3 −2x2 −2x−3 = −6. 3 markx→1

Hint: This question needs students have a thorough understanding of the proof by the ε-δdefinition as well as some good knowledge of what is learnt in Math187/188 and in high school, such as long division, factorization, inequality and algebraic manipulations.
