This is a challenge problem. solaklis wants you to find the answer...

[sp]Use the formula :
sinx-siny =$2cos\frac{x+y}{2}sin\frac{x-y}{2}$[/sp]

The $\epsilon$ $\delta$ definition for real function f(x) is :

Given $\epsilon>0$ there exists a $\delta>0$ such that :
For all x,y belonging the to domain of f(x) and $|x-y|<\delta$ then $|f(x)-f(y)|<\epsilon$
