In the limit

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} f(x)

we're interested in the value that f(x) converges to as x gets closer to c. So in fact x\neq c.

In the given example, f(x) is factorized to reveal a common factor of x-1 in the numerator and denominator. We have x\neq1 if x\to1, so x-1\neq0 so we can simplify

\dfrac{x-1}{x-1} = 1

and *remove* the discontinuity.

Then

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1} \frac{2(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \lim_{x\to1} \frac2{x+1} = \frac2{1+1} = 1

18 cajas de manzanas y peras fueron llevadas a la escuela. Las peras trajeron 210 kg en 6 cajas. ¿Cuántos kilos de manzanas fuer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

504 kilos de manzanas fueron llevados a la escuela.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean x, y la cantidad de cajas de manzanas y peras, respectivamente. De acuerdo con el enunciado, tenemos el siguiente sistema de ecuaciones:

Total de cajas

x+y = 18 (1)

Masa de cada caja de peras

y\cdot m_{P} = 210 (2)

y = 6 (3)

Masa de caja de manzanas

m_{M} = m_{P}+7 (4)

De (2) en (3), tenemos que la masa de cada caja de peras es:

m_{P} = 35\,kg

Por (4), encontramos que la masa de cada caja de manzanas es:

m_{M} = 35\,kg+7\,kg

m_{M} = 42\,kg

Finalmente, de (1) tenemos la cantidad de cajas de manzana:

x = 18-y

x = 12

La cantidad de kilos de manzanas llevada a la escuela se obtiene al multiplicar la cantidad de cajas de manzana por la masa de cada caja:

M = (12)\cdot (42\,kg)

M = 504\,kg

504 kilos de manzanas fueron llevados a la escuela.

Which could be the area of one face of the rectangular prism? Select three options.
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

44cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We work with area for rectangles using the face of the longer length first as this is the awkward length the perpendicular side to the easy calculation of the square and sits perpendicular to the square.

We choose the longer length and plug in and choose one of the two calculation answers.

11 x 4 = 44

11 x 6 = 66

We see the answer is 44cm^2, so we choose this one.

Use synthetic division to find P (-10) for P(x)=2x^3+14x^2-58x
Savatey [412]
The polynomial remainder theorem states that the remainder upon dividing a polynomial p(x) by x-c is the same as the value of p(c), so to find p(-10) you need to find the remainder upon dividing

\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}

You have

..... | 2 ...  14  ... -58
-10 |    ... -20  ... 60
--------------------------
..... | 2 ...  -6  ....  2

So the quotient and remainder upon dividing is

\dfrac{2x^3+14x^2-58x}{x+10}=2x-6+\dfrac2{x+10}

with a remainder of 2, which means p(-10)=2.
