I have used an online graphing calculator tool and I have found that $$ \delta=|\sqrt[3]{8+\epsilon}-2| $$. I am doubtful about finding...

No. You only need to prove that there exists a positive delta that satisfies the requirements. You don't need to say anything more about...

In this case, you might be able to calculate which one is the minimum. In general, however, you just need to show that such a delta...

Good work. You don't need to know what it is, as long as you know it is positive and small enough. Just set ##\delta_1 = \min(...

Alternatively, go back to the requirement that: $$|x^2 - 4| < \epsilon$$Now factorise the left hand side. That's the normal approach.

You need to establish ##\delta## for each ##\epsilon##. You should stay focused on ##|x -2|##.

You can do the two one-sided limits as separate calculations. The limit is ##L## if and only if both one-sided limits are ##L##.

You haven't told us the definition of f. You can assume \epsilon < 8 (a \delta which works for such an \epsilon will also work for any...

Is calculating the bounds based on one - sided limit like post #24? But in post#15, the delta you take is ##|\sqrt[3]{8+\epsilon}-2|##...
