Math Problem Statement
Use the given graph of f to find a number 𝛿 such that if 0 < |x − 3| < 𝛿 then |f(x) − 2| < 0.5.
Solution
To find a number such that:
we need to analyze the behavior of the function near using the graph of . The condition means that is close to 2 when is close to 3.
Steps:
-
Find the range of for : The inequality can be rewritten as: So, we are interested in values of where stays between 1.5 and 2.5.
-
Find the corresponding -interval around : Look at the graph of and find where stays within the range . Let's say the function stays within this range for values of between and .
-
Determine : From the graph, you need to estimate the value of . This is the distance from such that for all within this interval (i.e., ), the value of remains between 1.5 and 2.5.
If you provide the graph or describe its behavior near , I can help you find the exact value of .
