Consider lim x->2 f(x), where f(x)=4x-1. Find a delta such that: |f(x)-7|<0.01 if 0<|x-2|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay start with\[ |(4x-1)-7|<0.01 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ |4x-8|<0.01 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ |4||x-2|<0.01 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ |x-2|<\frac {0.01}{4} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did get that far but wasn't sure so is the .01/4 the delta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

Or anything smaller.
