1. As you can tell from the function definition and plot, there's a discontinuity at x = -2. But in the limit from either side of x = -2, f(x) is approaching the value at the empty circle:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-2}f(x) = \lim_{x\to-2}(x-2) = -2-2 = \boxed{-4}

Basically, since x is approaching -2, we are talking about values of x such x ≠ 2. Then we can compute the limit by taking the expression from the definition of f(x) using that x ≠ 2.

2. f(x) is continuous at x = -1, so the limit can be computed directly again:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-1} f(x) = \lim_{x\to-1}(x-2) = -1-2=\boxed{-3}

3. Using the same reasoning as in (1), the limit would be the value of f(x) at the empty circle in the graph. So

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-2}f(x) = \boxed{-1}

4. Your answer is correct; the limit doesn't exist because there is a jump discontinuity. f(x) approaches two different values depending on which direction x is approaching 2.

5. It's a bit difficult to see, but it looks like x is approaching 2 from above/from the right, in which case

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2^+}f(x) = \boxed{0}

When x approaches 2 from above, we assume x > 2. And according to the plot, we have f(x) = 0 whenever x > 2.

6. It should be rather clear from the plot that

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}f(x) = \lim_{x\to0}(\sin(x)+3) = \sin(0) + 3 = \boxed{3}

because sin(x) + 3 is continuous at x = 0. On the other hand, the limit at infinity doesn't exist because sin(x) oscillates between -1 and 1 forever, never landing on a single finite value.

For 7-8, divide through each term by the largest power of x in the expression:

7. Divide through by x². Every remaining rational term will converge to 0.

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2+x-12}{2x^2-5x-3} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1+\frac1x-\frac{12}{x^2}}{2-\frac5x-\frac3{x^2}}=\boxed{\frac12}

8. Divide through by x² again:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-\infty}\frac{x+3}{x^2+x-12} = \lim_{x\to-\infty}\frac{\frac1x+\frac3{x^2}}{1+\frac1x-\frac{12}{x^2}} = \frac01 = \boxed{0}

9. Factorize the numerator and denominator. Then bearing in mind that "x is approaching 6" means x ≠ 6, we can cancel a factor of x - 6:

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to6}\frac{2x^2-12x}{x^2-4x-12}=\lim_{x\to6}\frac{2x(x-6)}{(x+2)(x-6)} = \lim_{x\to6}\frac{2x}{x+2} = \frac{2\times6}{6+2}=\boxed{\frac32}

10. Factorize the numerator and simplify:

\dfrac{-2x^2+2}{x+1} = -2 \times \dfrac{x^2-1}{x+1} = -2 \times \dfrac{(x+1)(x-1)}{x+1} = -2(x-1) = -2x+2

where the last equality holds because x is approaching +∞, so we can assume x ≠ -1. Then the limit is

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{-2x^2+2}{x+1} = \lim_{x\to\infty} (-2x+2) = \boxed{-\infty}

How does the volume of a cylinder change if the radius is quadrupled and the height is reduced to a third of its original size?
KIM [24]

Answer:

the answer is  1/3 pie r2h

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by πr²h where, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Also r=d/2 , where d is the diameter of the cylinder.

Therefore if the diameter is halved, the radius also gets halved ,i.e., it becomes r/2. Therefore the new volume = π(r/2)²h

=π(r²/4)h

=(1/4) πr²h

Therefore the volume becomes one-fourth of the initial volume.

Find angle B and angle E
Natali [406]

Answer:

x = 9, Angles are 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find x:

7x-9 = 5x+9

+9 +9

7x = 5x+18

-5x -5x

2x = 18

x = 9

Now, we plug our x value in to find our angles.

5(9) + 9 = 54

Angle B = 54°

7(9) - 9 = 54°

Angle E = 54°

(angles are the same due to AAA property)

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

<h2>x³ + 8x² - 3x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - √3)(x + √3)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3+8x^2-3x-24\\\\=(x^2)(x)+(x^2)(8)+(-3)(x)+(-3)(8)\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\=x^2(x+8)-3(x+8)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-3)\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-(\sqrt3)^2)\\\\=(x+8)(x-\sqrt3)(x+\sqrt3)
