(a) Find the largest δ\delta such that x1<δ|x-1|<\delta implies 4x4<0.5|4x-4|<0.5. (b) Find the largest δ\delta such that x1<δ|x-1|<\delta implies 4x4<0.05|4x-4|<0.05.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given an inequality x1<δ|x - 1| < \delta.
2. We need to find the largest δ\delta such that 4x4<ε|4x - 4| < \varepsilon.
3. For part (a), ε=0.5\varepsilon = 0.5.
4. For part (b), ε=0.05\varepsilon = 0.05.
5. The value of δ\delta must be non-negative.

STEP 2

First, let's manipulate the inequality 4x4<ε|4x - 4| < \varepsilon to express it in terms of x1|x - 1|.
4x4=4(x1)|4x - 4| = |4(x - 1)|

STEP 3

Since ab=ab|ab| = |a||b| for any real numbers aa and bb, we can rewrite the inequality as:
4x1<ε|4||x - 1| < \varepsilon

STEP 4

Now, divide both sides of the inequality by 4|4| to isolate x1|x - 1|.
x1<ε4|x - 1| < \frac{\varepsilon}{|4|}

STEP 5

Since 4=4|4| = 4, we can simplify the inequality to:
x1<ε4|x - 1| < \frac{\varepsilon}{4}

STEP 6

Now, we will find the largest δ\delta for part (a) where ε=0.5\varepsilon = 0.5.
δ=ε4\delta = \frac{\varepsilon}{4}

STEP 7

Substitute ε=0.5\varepsilon = 0.5 into the equation.
δ=0.54\delta = \frac{0.5}{4}

STEP 8

Calculate the value of δ\delta for part (a).
δ=0.54=0.125\delta = \frac{0.5}{4} = 0.125
For part (a), the largest number δ\delta such that if x1<δ|x - 1| < \delta, then 4x4<0.5|4x - 4| < 0.5 is δ0.125\delta \leq 0.125.

STEP 9

Next, we will find the largest δ\delta for part (b) where ε=0.05\varepsilon = 0.05.
δ=ε4\delta = \frac{\varepsilon}{4}

STEP 10

Substitute ε=0.05\varepsilon = 0.05 into the equation.
δ=0.054\delta = \frac{0.05}{4}

STEP 11

Calculate the value of δ\delta for part (b).
δ=0.054=0.0125\delta = \frac{0.05}{4} = 0.0125
For part (b), the largest number δ\delta such that if x1<δ|x - 1| < \delta, then 4x4<0.05|4x - 4| < 0.05 is δ0.0125\delta \leq 0.0125.
