Answer:

<u />\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} }

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c

Special Limit Rule [L’Hopital’s Rule]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}

Differentiation

  • Derivatives
  • Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

  1. f(x) = cxⁿ
  2. f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify given limit</em>.

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3}

<u>Step 2: Find Limit</u>

Let's start out by <em>directly</em> evaluating the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3}
  2. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3} \\& = \frac{0}{0} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}

When we do evaluate the limit directly, we end up with an indeterminant form. We can now use L' Hopital's Rule to simply the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [L' Hopital's Rule]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\\end{aligned}
  2. [Limit] Differentiate [Derivative Rules and Properties]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  3. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  4. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \\& = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} } \\\end{aligned}

∴ we have <em>evaluated</em> the given limit.

To earn an A in an algebra course, a student must have a test average of at least 90. Mary has grades of 95, 82, 88 on her first
Fofino [41]

Answer: Mary need to make at-least 95 on her fourth test to earn an A in her algebra course.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the grades scored by Mary in the fourth algebra test.

Mary has grades of 95, 82, 88 on her first three algebra tests.

Then, the combined scores in four test will become = 95+82+88+x =  265+x

Average score = (Sum of all scores) ÷ (Number of tests)

=\dfrac{265+x}{4}

As per given ,

To earn an A in an algebra course, a student must have a test average of at least 90.

i.e. Average score ≥ 90

\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{265+x}{4}\geq90\\\\\Rightarrow\ 265+x\geq 90\times4=360\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\geq360-265 =95\\\\\Rightarrow\ x\geq90

Hence, Mary need to make at-least 95 on her fourth test to earn an A in her algebra course.

a rectangle has an area of x2+8x+15 square meters and a width of x+3 what expression represents the length of the rectangle
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the area of a rectangle of width w and length l is A = l*w,

length = Area / Width.

Here,                             x^2 + 8x + 15

length of rectangle  = ----------------------

                                            x + 3

Use synthetic division to perform the above.  The coefficients of the quadratic are a = 1, b = 8 and c = 15, and the divisor is -3 (from (x + 3).

-3      /  1        8        15

                    -3        -15

        -------------------------

            1         5        0

Since the remainer is zero (0), -3 is a root and 1x + 5 is a factor of the quadratic.  This factor, representing the length of the rectangle, is 1x + 5.

Next time, kindly share the answer choices.  Thank you.
