What is lim x→-3 sqrt x^2-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
vitfil [10]1 year ago
4 0

If the  -8 is under the square root, then...

\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to -3} \sqrt{x^2-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{(-3)^2-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{9-8}\\\\L = \sqrt{1}\\\\L = 1\\\\

OR

If the -8 is not under the square root, then...

\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to -3} \sqrt{x^2}-8\\\\L = \sqrt{(-3)^2}-8\\\\L = \sqrt{9}-8\\\\L = 3-8\\\\L = -5

Either way, we replace x with -3 and simplify.

For more information, refer to the direct substitution rule for limits.

Of her book on Tuesday, and of her book on Wednesday,
Step2247 [10]

Answer: 9/10 of the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert all of the fractions to have a common denominator. 6, 5, and 3 are all multiples of 30, so we can convert the fractions to 30ths.

1/6 = 5/30

2/5 = 12/30

1/3 = 10/30

2. Add the fractions together to find the whole amount of the book Joyce has read.

5/30 + 12/30 + 10/30 = 27/30

3. Simplify

27/30 -> 9/10

Find the coordinates of P ' if D o, 2.4 (x,y) is applied to the triangle below
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of dilation D_{o,2.4}(x,y) represent the dilation with scale factor 2.4 and center at origin.

If the scale factor of the dilation is k and the center is (0,0), then

(x,y)\rightarrow (kx,ky)

Since the scale factor is 2.4, therefore

(x,y)\rightarrow (2.4x,2.4y)

From the given figure it is noticed that the coordinates of P are (2,-2). The coordinates of P' are

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(2.4(2),2.4(-2))

P(2,-2)\rightarrow P'(4.8,-4.8)

Therefore the coordinates of P' are (4.8,-4.8).

A chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 9% vinegar, and the second brand co
pishuonlain [190]
Let the amount of the first brand be x, and let the amount of the second brand be y.
0.09x + 0.14y = 240 * 0.13 .................(1)
x + y = 240 ..............(2)
y = 240 - x .......................(3)
Plugging the value for y from equation (3) into equation (1), we get:
0.09x+0.14(240-x)=240\times0.13 ...............(4)
Equation (4) simplifies to:
-0.05x = -2.4
giving the value for the required amount of 9% vinegar as 48 ml and the required amount of 14% vinegar as 240 - 48 = 192 ml.
