I have absolutely no idea what it's asking for! can anyone explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find largest δ : -δ < x < δ and f(x) < 0.01

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What values of x make f(x) between -0.01 and +0.01?

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

Do I use the (x/4) or the (-x/3) to figure that out? I understand the question a little better, but I'm still not quite sure what's going on...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u use the -x/3

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

@CliffSedge I think i'm starting to get what you're saying, but what does the |x-0| < δ mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means that the absolute value of x-0 must be smaller than delta.... sooo that means that the absolute value will make what ever x-0 is, into a positive value .. so if x =-20 the absolute value of x-0 will make the answer 20-0=20. so in the end any positive X value must be smaller than delta.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that is why u need to use -x/3 because it states that this equation is only valid for any value for x bigger than or equals to zero.

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

alright..i'm following you so far but where did -δ < x < δ come from that @CliffSedge mentioned?

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

@michelle1503 I'm really not sure how to solve this at all...is it possible you could show me step by step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
