Well by copying the question and not doing anything else, you did not make it clear what you intended.

So, could you please make the question a bit more clear? At least for me, it's not clear what you mean by "delta". Are you supposed to find a value for x that satisfies the limit equation that you wrote? If so, how would you go about doing that? How does your textbook approach problems like this one?
 

FAQ: How can I find the value of delta when solving for a limit equation?

What is the meaning of delta in science?

Delta, denoted by the symbol δ, is a mathematical term used to represent a change or difference between two values or variables. In science, delta can refer to a change in physical quantities such as time, temperature, or velocity.

How do you calculate the value of delta?

The value of delta can be calculated by subtracting the initial value from the final value. This can be represented as: δ = final value - initial value. For example, if the initial temperature is 25°C and the final temperature is 30°C, then the delta in temperature would be 5°C.

What does a positive delta value indicate?

A positive delta value indicates an increase or upward trend in the variable being measured. For example, a positive delta in temperature would mean that the temperature has increased, whereas a positive delta in time would mean that time has passed.

How is delta used in scientific experiments?

In scientific experiments, delta values can be used to analyze and compare data. By calculating the delta between different measurements, scientists can determine the rate of change and identify any patterns or trends in the data.

Can delta have a negative value?

Yes, delta can have a negative value. A negative delta value indicates a decrease or downward trend in the variable being measured. For example, a negative delta in temperature would mean that the temperature has decreased.
