In the forward direction, suppose
x→0+limf(x1)=l.Pick any ε>0. By definition, there exists δ>0 such that, for all x,
0<x<δ⇒f(x1)−l<ε.Let z=1/x. This gives
0<δ1<x⟺0<z<δ⇒∣f(z)−l∣=∣f(x)−l∣<ε.In the reverse direction (⇐), suppose
x→∞limf(x)=l.Pick any ε>0. By definition, this means that there exists a δ>0 such that, for all x,
x>δ>0⇒∣f(x)−l∣<ε.Let z=1/x. Then,
δ1>x>0⟺z>δ>0⇒∣f(z)−l∣<ε,which implies that
z→0+limf(z)=l.
