In the previous question you were given three values ot E and asked to find corresponding values of M _ Formalty, the meaning ot 
lim f(x) = L 
is that every > O there is a corresponding value of M such that 
M then If(x) —Ll < 
That's a lot ot M's to find' Fortunately, we can often do them all simultaenously by finding M as a function ot 
Lets conbnue the previous question where f(x) = e and formally prove the statement 
It we assume that x > M then 
-M 
We can make the right hand side e 
Note' the Maple syntax for In(l + e) is In 
lim = (b
