    Use the definition of limit:
    "
    if and only if for any [math]\epsilon>0 [math] there exists [math] \delta>0[\math] such that implies "

    Then if , you can write . So you have from hypothesis
    "
    which translates to

    for any [math]\epsilon>0 [math] there exists [math] \delta>0[\math] such that implies "

    and

    for any [math]\epsilon>0 [math] there exists [math] \delta'>0[\math] such that implies ".

    Then choose very small, say : in this case you should have the corresponding ; put , and choose an arbitrary such that : you have now

    and

    contradiction.
