SUMMARY

The value of delta for the function \(x^2 |x^2-1| < 1/2\) under the condition \(|x-1| < \delta\) is determined by analyzing the graph with the points (0.8, 0.5) and (1.2, 1.5). The calculations show that the maximum value of delta that satisfies all conditions is 0.2, rounded down to four decimal places. This conclusion is drawn from the behavior of the function around the specified points and the constraints provided.

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.
