a) Suppose that ff is a function satisfying f(x)x|f(x)|\leq |x| for all xx. Note that f(0)=0f(0)=0. Pick any ε>0\varepsilon>0. Let δ=ε0.01\delta=\varepsilon-0.01. For all xx,

x<δ    f(x)x<δ=ε0.01<ε.|x|<\delta \implies |f(x)|\leq |x|<\delta=\varepsilon-0.01<\varepsilon.

b) Consider

f(x)={0,if x is rational,x,if x is irrational.f(x)= \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if } x \text{ is rational},\\ x, & \text{if } x \text{ is irrational}. \end{cases}

c) Suppose that gg is continuous at 00 and g(0)=0g(0)=0, and f(x)g(x)|f(x)|\leq |g(x)|.
Pick any ε>0\varepsilon>0. By definition, there exists δ>0\delta>0 such that

x<δ    f(x)g(x)<ε.|x|<\delta \implies |f(x)|\leq |g(x)|<\varepsilon.

Hence

limx0f(x)=f(0)=0.\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)=f(0)=0.
