In general, for a right hand limit at ##a## you are looking for:$$a < x <a +\delta$$And not $$0<|x-a|< \delta$$PS I see this was in the...

Please find below the plots of my understanding the situation. I hope it is not wrong and has some meanings.

I can't say with authority whether part 2 is required. I am not a "proof policeman". If part 1 had stated things differently, like...

## x-2\lt0 ## and ## \sqrt[3]{8+\epsilon}-2\gt0 ## implies that ## x-2\lt\sqrt[3]{8+\epsilon}-2 ## always holds so ##...

You calculated the bounds based on a two-sided limit. Even though you said you were doing a one-sided limit. That's why you ended up...

If you look at his calculations. For ##x > 2##, where the function is quadratic, he includes the case ##x < 2##. Similarly, when ##x...

For two-sided continuity, the limits must be equal. On each side, that delta and any smaller, strictly positive, delta will do. So the...

Although, there should only be one ##\delta## in each set, as we are dealing with a one-sided limit. For example, for the righthand...

You are done. You have proved that ##\delta \gt 0## exists which satisfies the requirement. You accidentally dropped the absolute...

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(...
