Proof: sqrt(x) is Continuous using Epsilon Delta Definition | Real Analysis Exercises

We prove that f(x)=sqrt(x), the square root function, is continuous on its entire domain where it is real, from 0 to infinity including 0. We complete this proof using the epsilon delta definition of continuity of a function at a point. To do this, we simply take an epsilon greater than 0 and an arbitrary point c from our domain, then go through the motions of finding a delta greater than 0 so that any x in D that is within delta of c has an image within epsilon of c's image. However, our approach will actually force c into the denominator in our proof, so we will need to take care of continuity at 0 separately. Let me know if there are more epsilon delta continuity proofs you want to see! #RealAnalysis Epsilon Delta Definition of Continuity: https://youtu.be/O98eOlHyWmQ Proof f(x)=x is Continuous: https://youtu.be/8KS8giQ_35s Proof ax+b is Continuous using Epsilon-Delta Definition: https://youtu.be/1jrcXqV34gg Proof f(x)=|x| is Continuous: https://youtu.be/HTN2rldZCHc Proof f(x)=e^x is Continuous: https://youtu.be/CPWO8RsIBy8 Proof f(x)=sin(x) is Continuous: https://youtu.be/o_OsB2KF4mQ Real Analysis playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxWo4HxUYV58ENhxHV32Wxli #RealAnalysis #Math ★DONATE★ ◆ Support Wrath of Math on Patreon for early access to new videos and other exclusive benefits: https://www.patreon.com/join/wrathofmathlessons ◆ Donate on PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/wrathofmath Thanks to Robert Rennie, Barbara Sharrock, and Rolf Waefler for their generous support on Patreon!
