Here is the link for the problem that I am trying to solve:



https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01sc-single-variable-calculus-fall-2010/1.-differentiation/part-a-definition-and-basic-rules/session-1-introduction-to-derivatives/



The problem is 1c in the pdf:



https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01sc-single-variable-calculus-fall-2010/1.-differentiation/part-a-definition-and-basic-rules/session-1-introduction-to-derivatives/MIT18_01SCF10_ex01sol.pdf



The final solution is next:



$$-0.08 le Delta x le 0.10$$



As I understand this is the formula for this problem where m is the slope:



$$-0.1m le frac{Delta y}{Delta x} le 0.1m$$



But I can't understand why the numbers on each end are different. Appreciate any help.

    Please try to make the titles of your questions more informative. For example, Why does $a<b$ imply $a+c<b+c$? is much more useful for other users than A question about inequality. From How can I ask a good question?: Make your title as descriptive as possible. In many cases one can actually phrase the title as the question, at least in such a way so as to be comprehensible to an expert reader. You can find more tips for choosing a good title here.

    Here's what I see. Please use MathJax. If you're unsure of what code to use for a symbol, try Detexify.
