The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to use absolute value properties:[tex]- \epsilon \lt \frac{\sqrt{x_0^2+1}}{x_0^3} - \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^3} \lt \epsilon[/tex]By adding in the three sides, we have:[tex]\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^3} - \epsilon \lt \frac{\sqrt{x_0^2+1}}{x_0^3} \lt \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}}{x^3} + \epsilon[/tex]But that doesn't say anything about the distance between the terms in the absolute value, and I don't know how to algebrically organize the inequality to achieve that. I'd greatly appreciate some help!
