Limit of a function from the epsilon-delta definition

What it solves
Prove that a polynomial (a straight line, a quadratic or a cubic) has the limit you expect at a point, using only the epsilon-delta definition: for every output tolerance epsilon, find an input tolerance delta that guarantees it.

Your problem

Prove this limit using only the epsilon-delta definition, then try the proof out with the tolerance ε=110\varepsilon = \frac{1}{10}.

lim⁡x→2(x2−3x+5)=3\lim_{x \to 2} \left( x^{2} - 3 x + 5 \right) = 3
