Let f:=R→R and let c∈R. Show that limx→cf(x)=L if and only if limx→0f(x+c)=L.
From the definition of limit, we get that it is enough to show:
∀ ε>0 ∃ δ>0 s.t. if |x−c|<δ then |f(x)−L|<ε
⇔ ∀ ε0>0 ∃ δ0>0 s.t. if |x|<δ0 then |f(x+c)−L|<ε0
I can replace x by x+c everywhere in statement for the if (⇒) part. But, I am not sure this is the correct method. What I need to do is manipulate the inequalities in each to get the other. But, I am not sure how to proceed with that.
Answer
Given ε>0, use the δ from the definition of limx→cf(x)=L. If |x|<δ, then |(x+c)−c|<δ, so |f(x+c)−L|<ε. Thus limx→0f(x+c)=L.
