Self studier here. I was trying to understand the epsilon-delta definition of the limit and tried to test my understanding by trying to prove that the limit of x^2+1 when x->5 is 26.

Proof:
Let e>0
Suppose abs(x^2+1-26)<e
=abs(x^2-25)<e
=abs((x+5)(x-5))<e
=abs(x+5)*abs(x-5)<e

Then if abs(x-5)<d
=abs(x-5)*abs(x+5)<d*abs(x+5)
=> d*abs(x+5)>e
=d>e/abs(x+5)

QED

Is this right?

x^2+1
let x= 5+d
(5+d)^2+1 = 26+10d+d^2

for 10d+d^2 < e
let d = min{1, e}/11
>>
>>8378184
I don't understand why you let d=min(1,e)/11

Here's a new proof based on your insight I wrote which I think is right
Proof:
Let e>0
Suppose x = 5+d for some d>0
Suppose abs(x^2+1-26)<e

then, abs((5+d)^2-25)<e
=abs(d^2+10d+25-25)<e
=abs(d^2+10d)<e

Note
abs(d^2+10d)>=abs(d^2)-abs(10d)
Since d>0
=> abs(d^2)-abs(10d)=d^2-10d

then
d^2-10d<e
=>(d-5)^2<e+25
=d-5<sqrt(e+25)
=d<sqrt(e+25)+5

QED

>Is this right?
No, on the chance this thread isn't bait, what you assumed is what you're supposed to prove.

Structure of an epsilon-delta limit proof:
>To prove: [math]\lim_{x\to a} f(x)=L[/math]
>For all [math]\epsilon>0[/math]
>Prove there exists some constant [math]\delta>0[/math] such that
>[math]|x-a|<\delta \Rightarrow |f(x)-L|<\epsilon[/math]

Has anyone ever thought about cutting all the middle management bureaucratic crap and just brought some of the world's brightest and genius level intellects together, left them alone in a giant warehouse, and given $1 billion to solve some of the unsolved problems in science such as building a rocket engine that travels near light speed, portable fusion power, an energy efficient water desalination system, holographic touchscreen devices, an actual AI that doesn't easily get trolled by /pol/, and halted ageing?

Why has no one ever thought about this?

There are ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND TEN billionaires in this godforsaken world and NOT ONE has bothered to do something like this yet other than piss their money down the drain on charities and universities instead (like they ever get any real fucking research done)

>inb4 Elon Musk

Because no one is going to give up 1 billion dollars.
Also, having that money doesn't mean it will be used efficiently. Also, who is going to decide who will get that money?
>>
>>8378003
It is because they all have vested interest in outdated or dying technologies, because they control them, they make money from them.
>>
>>8378020
That is bullshit.
If there was even slight chance of new technology, everyone would jump on it. Because if they are the first one, they can make much more money than old products AND give themselves future.

Hey guys. Imagine you one day had total amnesia when it comes to anything starting from Algebra and above.

Let's imagine you can't go back to school for whatever reason.

What books would you recommend your future amnesia having self to self learn your basic algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry all over again?

Has there ever been a serious scientific experiment, published in a mainstream journal, that attempted to disprove evolution?

Falsifiability is part of the scientific method, right? If there's never been any real effort to falsify evolution, then it's not a proper scientific theory.

>Falsifiability is part of the scientific method, right?
Yes.
>If there's never been any real effort to falsify evolution, then it's not a proper scientific theory.
No.
>>
Why don't you make a paper disproving evolution then?
>>
>>8377473
No?

You've just contradicted yourself. If falsifiability is part of the scientific method, then if nobody has tried to falsify evolution then it means the scientific method is not being observed.

Going around looking for proof that your theory is right, and ignoring any evidence to the contrary, is what they do on the show Ancient Aliens.

I know this is too heavy for 4chan users but I am still gonna ask that
Does anyone of you have HOBBY of reading scientific papers randomly from various fields and researching and gaining expertise in that field or if not just their own field but different topics?

Or are u all retarded shit poster?

Reading random publications from other fields is quite possibly the worst way to learn about it if you don't already have training in them.
