Solution Summary
The epsilon-delta definition and limit theorems are used to evaluate limits. Epsilon is used for a delta definition. The limit theorems are analyzed.

a.)
Lt(x->0) {x^2 +cos(x)}/{2 - tan(x)}
= Lt(h->0){(0+h)^2 + cos(0+h)}/(2 - tan(0+h))
= Lt(h->0) {h^2 + cos(h)}{2-tan(h)}
= {0 + cos(0)}/{2-tan(0)}
= 1/2
Let, there exists e >0 such that,
0 < |{x^2 +cos(x)}/{2 - tan(x)} - 1/2| < e
and, d>0 such that,
0<|x-0|<d
=> 0<|x|<d
because,
|x| < d
=> x^2 = |x|^2 < d^2
x^2 +cos(x) < d^2 + 1
let for small x,
2 - tan(x) ~ ...
