    Calculus
    Section 1.7

    Can you work this out step by step as a guide for me to do a few more on my own?

    if you have 0< |x-3| <δ, then

    0< |x-3| => x>3 or x<3
    and
    |x-3| <δ => x = 3, δ>0

    when you combine intervals, solution is x>3 or x<3

    so, in this case, 0< |x-3| <δ, there is no solution for δ



    abs(f(x)-2)< 0.5

    Apply absolute rule: If |u|<a, a>0 then -a<u<a

    -0.5< f(x)-2< 0.5
    2-0.5< f(x)< 2+0.5
    -1.5< f(x)< 2.5

    Sorry but this remains unclear to me. I will need to study your notes a few more hours and get back to this tomorrow. Show combining the intervals. Show how this is done.
