MAPLE Software

Hey guys, hopefully a quick and easy question.

I'm in a math course, and it's my first time using the MAPLE software. I have a homework assignment on limits, and to illustrate the exact content and as an example, here is a question taken from the homework:

As background, I don't live on campus, and Maple is installed on the campus machines, so I'm trying to get prepared and get at least an idea of how to go about doing this before I head out.

So, since this is my first time using the software, I just wanted to double-check and see if I'm thinking this through the right way.

Take the above problem, for example. For a), I believe I would >plot( (sin(x)/x) - 1, x = 0...1); to plot an interval from 0 to .1, and then find a positive number value on the plot to assign to delta. Then just repeat the process on the interval from x = 0...01 and x=0...00001. At least, I think that's how it's supposed to work. If someone could chime in and let me know if either I have it right or I'm totally going about this the wrong way, I would much appreciate it.
