Find lim f(x) if f(x) x->5 = { -x² -1, x #5 -3, x=5

Mathematics

Given

f(x) = \begin{cases} -x^2 - 1 & \text{if }x \neq 5 \\ -3 & \text{if }x=5 \end{cases}

we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to5} f(x) = \lim_{x\to5} (-x^2-1) = -5^2-1 = \boxed{-26}

since we are <em>approaching</em> x=5, so effectively x\neq 5 and we use the definition of f(x) under that condition.

PLEASE HELP!! Trevor is writing a paper that must be 50,000 words long. He had already written 23,210 words. Write an inequality
almond37 [142]

Answer:

50,000 ≤ 23,210 + 5x

x = Average number of words per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with 50,000 because that's how many words the paper needs to have.

Use "≤" because Trevor needs to write at least 50,000 words. (He can write more).

Trevor already wrote 23,210 words plus x words per week for 5 weeks.

(Solving for x will help you find the average number of words Trevor must write per week for 5 weeks).

Ruiz needs to buy a countertop for a kitchen. He calculated the area to be 16 square feet. The actual area is 15.4 square feet.
Marina86 [1]
First, subtract the two values:

16 - 15.4 = 0.6

Now divide this to the actual area:

0.6 / 15.4 = 0.038961039

Multiply by 100:

0.038961039 * 100 = 3.8961039

So the percent error is approximately 3.9%
