Hello, in Calculus, if we talk about the limits of functions,

the chain of events and the direction of thoughts is DIFFERENT:

        we first assign epsilon, and then try to find delta.

Then the logic is straightforward, clear, understandable and coincides with the logic of the definition of a limit.

Here you ask about opposite move:   you consider delta as given and ask about epsilon.

Again: it is OPPOSITE to routine calculus consideration.

So, I really do not understand the meaning of this exercise:   Is it designed to confuse a reader / (a student) ?
