Use the given graph of(x) =x^2 |x^2-1| < 1/2 whenever |x-1| <delta .The Given points on the graph are(0.8,0.5), (1.2,1.5). Please give your answer to the value of delta, where deltaor any smaller positive number will satisfy all conditions. correct to four decimals, round down if necessary.

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...
