I How do I derive the general expression for delta p times delta x?

[montecarlous]

Hey guys!
How do I derive the general expression for delta p times delta x which is the exception value in the harmonic oscillator. I am supposed to establish delta p and delta x as operators and the express those operators by raising and lowering operators.

Is this a homework problem? If so, you need to post it in the homework forum and fill out the template.
