Prove the following statements: \par

\item If $\delta$ and $\varepsilon$ are infinitesimal, then $\delta + \varepsilon$ is infinitesimal.

\definition{}
We say two elements of an ordered field are \textit{infinitely close} if $x - y$ is infinitesimal. \par
We say that $x_0 \in \mathbb{R}$ is a \textit{standard part} of $x$ if it is infinitely close to $x$. \par

We will denote the standard part of $x$ as $\text{st}(x)$. \par
Show that $\text{st}(x)$ is well-defined for limited $x$. \par
