38. If H is the Heaviside function defined in Example 6 in Sec-
tion 2.2, prove, using Definition 2, that lim,-0 H(t) does not
exist. [Hint: Use an indirect proof as follows. Suppose that the
limit is L. Take & in the definition of a limit and try to
=
arrive at a contradiction.]
39. If the function f is defined by
f(x) =
So if x is rational

1 if x is irrational
prove that lim x->0 f(x) does not exist.
