Most versions on an epsilon-delta definition require delta > 0δ>0.

Explanation:

Perhaps the definition you're working with is something like:

lim_(xrarra^-)f(x) = -oo if and only if, for every B, there is a delta > 0 such that for every x, if a- delta < x < a, then f(x) < B.

This allows for the possibility that B is a positive number, in which case -1/B would be negative..

Without knowing exactly what definition you're working with, I can only suggest that that's the problem.
