Evaluate the following limit:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Makovka662 [10]2 years ago
5 0

If we evaluate the function at infinity, we can immediately see that:

        \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{\displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{(x^2 + 1)^2 - 3x^2 + 3}{x^3 - 5}} = \frac{\infty}{\infty}} \end{gathered}$}

Therefore, we must perform an algebraic manipulation in order to get rid of the indeterminacy.

We can solve this limit in two ways.

<h3>Way 1:</h3>

By comparison of infinities:

We first expand the binomial squared, so we get

                         \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{x^4 - x^2 + 4}{x^3 - 5}} = \infty \end{gathered}$}

Note that in the numerator we get x⁴ while in the denominator we get x³ as the highest degree terms. Therefore, the degree of the numerator is greater and the limit will be \infty. Recall that when the degree of the numerator is greater, then the limit is \infty if the terms of greater degree have the same sign.

<h3>Way 2</h3>

Dividing numerator and denominator by the term of highest degree:

                            \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf L  = \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^{4}-x^{2} +4  }{x^{3}-5  }  \end{gathered}$}\\

                                \ \  = \lim_{x \to \infty\frac{\frac{x^{4}  }{x^{4} }-\frac{x^{2} }{x^{4}}+\frac{4}{x^{4} }    }{\frac{x^{3} }{x^{4}}-\frac{5}{x^{4}}   }  }

                                \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{1-\frac{1}{x^{2} } +\frac{4}{x^{4} }  }{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{5}{x^{4} }  }  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =\frac{1}{0}=\infty } \end{gathered}$}

Note that, in general, 1/0 is an indeterminate form. However, we are computing a limit when x →∞, and both the numerator and denominator are positive as x grows, so we can conclude that the limit will be ∞.

We know that

in the right triangle
sin x=opposite side angle x/hypotenuse
opposite side angle x=66 mm
hypotenuse=79 mm
so
sin x=66/79
x=arc sin (66/79)-------> x=56.66°-------> x=56.7°

the answer is
x=56.7°

Piece Wise function Math...help!
Maru [420]

The Function models Jay's total monthly salary s(x) in dollars would be s(x) = 0.03s - 1060.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function is a type of relation, or rule, that maps one input to a specific single output.

Given

Base salary = $2500 per month

Commision = 3% on Sales over 48000

Determine the function s(x) for sales over $48000

Let's Represent the total sales in a month with s.

So, the function s(x) is:

s(x)  = Base Amount + Commission x Sales over $48000

s(x) = 2500  + 3% (s - 48000)

s(x) = 2500  + 0.03(s - 48000)

s(x) = 2500  + 0.03s - 1440

s(x) = 0.03s - 1060

Hence, the Function models Jay's total monthly salary s(x) in dollars would be s(x) = 0.03s - 1060.
