begin mathsize 18px style capital delta subscript x equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 2 end cell 1 row 3 cell negative 4 end cell row blank blank end table close vertical bar space equals space space 5 end style
capital delta subscript x space equals space open vertical bar table row 2 cell negative 1 end cell row 3 cell negative 4 end cell row blank blank end table close vertical bar space equals space minus 5
capital delta subscript x space equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 2 end cell 5 row 3 cell negative 25 end cell row blank blank end table close vertical bar space equals space 35
capital delta subscript x space equals space open vertical bar table row 5 1 row cell negative 25 end cell cell negative 4 end cell row blank blank end table close vertical bar space equals space 5
