Find the value of delta that corresponds to 0.75.
Give your value of delta where delta or any positive number will satisfy the conditions . give the answer correct to 3 decimal places, round down if necessary.

lim (4+x-3x^3)=2
x-->1

We don't do your homework for you. Please show us your attempt at the solution, so we can provide tutorial help to you.
 
Correction: I did not ask YOU to do my homework for me.
The reason why I chose this website was for assistance with questions that I am having difficulty setting up the problem so that I may solve it.

Well by copying the question and not doing anything else, you did not make it clear what you intended.

So, could you please make the question a bit more clear? At least for me, it's not clear what you mean by "delta". Are you supposed to find a value for x that satisfies the limit equation that you wrote? If so, how would you go about doing that? How does your textbook approach problems like this one?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
