The value of the given limit lim ₓ → 1 (x³ - 1)/(x - 1) = <u>3</u>.

In the question, we are asked what is the limit of startfraction x cubed minus 1 over x minus 1 endfraction as x approaches 1, that is, lim ₓ → 1 (x³ - 1)/(x - 1).

Unique real numbers are limits in mathematics. Let us consider a real-valued function "f" and a real number "c", the limit is normally defined as lim ₓ → c f(x) = L. The phrase is to be understood as "the limit of f of x, as x approaches c equals L." The right arrow indicates that function f(x) approaches the limit L as x approaches c. The "lim" displays the limit.

The value of the given limit can be calculated as follows:

lim ₓ → 1 (x³ - 1)/(x - 1)

= lim ₓ → 1 (x³ - 1³)/(x - 1), Since 1³ = 1

= lim ₓ → 1 (x - 1)(x² + x + 1)/(x - 1) , using the formula: a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

= lim ₓ → 1 (x² + x + 1), Cancelling (x - 1) in the numerator and the denominator, since x → 1, that is, x is approaching 1 and not equal to 1, implying that x - 1 ≠ 0.

= (1² + 1 + 1), Substituting x = 1, and removing the limit.

= 3.

Thus, the value of the given limit lim ₓ → 1 (x³ - 1)/(x - 1) = <u>3</u>.

If $5000 is invested at a rate of 3% interest
harkovskaia [24]

The value of the investment in 5 years is $5805.9

<h3>What is Interest ?</h3>

Interest is the amount earned over years for the amount invested.

It is given that

Principal = $5000

Rate = 3%

Compounded Quarterly

Time = 5 years

Amount = ?

The Amount is given by the formula

Amount = P( 1 + (r/n))ⁿˣ

Here n = t = time period for which the investment has been done.

Amount = 5000( 1+(3/4 * 100)⁴ˣ⁵

Amount = 5000 (1.16)

Amount = $ 5805.9

Therefore , The value of the investment in 5 years is $5805.9

A ball is thrown in the air from a height of 3 m with an initial velocity of 12 m/s. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long
stepladder [879]

Answer:  1.4 seconds

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation is: h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀          where

  • a is the acceleration (in this case it is gravity)
  • v₀ is the initial velocity
  • h₀ is the initial height

Given:  

  • a = -9.81 (if it wasn't given in your textbook, you can look it up)
  • v₀ = 12
  • h₀ = 3

Since we are trying to find out when it lands on the ground, h(t) = 0

EQUATION:   0 = 9.81t² + 12t + 3

Use the quadratic equation to find the x-intercepts

                        a=-9.81, b=12, c=3

x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(12)\pm \sqrt{(12)^2-4(-9.81)(3)}}{2(-9.81)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12\pm 16.2}{-19.62}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+ 16.2}{-19.62}=-0.2\qquad x=\dfrac{-12- 16.2}{-19.62}=\large\boxed{1.4}\\

Note: Negative time (-0.2) is not valid
