Answer:

The number is 296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call "x" to the number we are looking for.

Now, the problem states that "5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42". This means that this number is being divided by 8, it's also being additioned 5 and the final result is 42. Therefore, the expression of this operations on this number is the following:

$\frac{x}{8}+5=42$ . Let's solve the equation to find x.

1. Write the expression.

$\frac{x}{8}+5=42$

2. Substract 5 from both sides and simplify.

$\frac{x}{8}+5-5=42-5\\\\\frac{x}{8}=37\\\\$

3. Multiply 8 on both sides and simplify.

$8*\frac{x}{8}=37*8\\\\x=296$

We have found our number, it's 296!

Let P and Q be polynomials with positive coefficients. Consider the limit below. lim x→[infinity] P(x) Q(x) (a) Find the limit i

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

If the limit that you want to find is $\lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{P(x)}{Q(x)}$ then you can use the following proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $P(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{1}x+a_{0}$ and $Q(x)=b_{m}x^{m}+b_{m-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots+b_{1}x+b_{0}$ be the given polinomials. Then

$\dfrac{P(x)}{Q(x)}=\dfrac{x^{n}(a_{n}+a_{n-1}x^{-1}+a_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots +a_{2}x^{-(n-2)}+a_{1}x^{-(n-1)}+a_{0}x^{-n})}{x^{m}(b_{m}+b_{m-1}x^{-1}+b_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots+b_{2}x^{-(m-2)}+b_{1}x^{-(m-1)}+b_{0}x^{-m})}=x^{n-m}\dfrac{a_{n}+a_{n-1}x^{-1}+a_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots +a_{2}x^{-(n-2)}+a_{1}x^{-(n-1)})+a_{0}x^{-n}}{b_{m}+b_{m-1}x^{-1}+b_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots+b_{2}x^{-(m-2)}+b_{1}x^{-(m-1)}+b_{0}x^{-m}}$

Observe that

$\lim_{x\to \infty}\dfrac{a_{n}+a_{n-1}x^{-1}+a_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots +a_{2}x^{-(n-2)}+a_{1}x^{-(n-1)})+a_{0}x^{-n}}{b_{m}+b_{m-1}x^{-1}+b_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots+b_{2}x^{-(m-2)}+b_{1}x^{-(m-1)}+b_{0}x^{-m}}=\dfrac{a_{n}}{b_{m}}$

and

$\lim_{x\to \infty} x^{n-m}=\begin{cases}0& \text{if}\,\, nm\end{cases}$

Then

$\lim_{x\to \infty}=\lim_{x\to \infty}x^{n-m}\dfrac{a_{n}+a_{n-1}x^{-1}+a_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots +a_{2}x^{-(n-2)}+a_{1}x^{-(n-1)}+a_{0}x^{-n}}{b_{m}+b_{m-1}x^{-1}+b_{n-2}x^{-2}+\cdots+b_{2}x^{-(m-2)}+b_{1}x^{-(m-1)}+b_{0}x^{-m}}=\begin{cases}0 & \text{if}\,\, nm \end{cases}$

4/f + 11 =29 what does f =

Delvig [45]

$\frac{4}{f} + 11 = 29$

First, subtract '11' from each side.
$\frac{4}{f} = 29 - 11$

Second, subtract '29 - 11' to get '18'.
$\frac{4}{f} = 18$

Third, since we are solving for f, we have to get it by itself. Multiply each side by 'f'.
$4 = 18f$

Fourth, once again, we need to get 'f' alone. Divide both sides by 18.
$\frac{4}{18} = f$

Fifth, now that we have 'f' by itself, we can simplify the current fraction. To do so, we need to start off with listing the factors of 4 and 18 and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Out of the listed factors, 1 and 2 are the common factors, and since 2 is the highest number out of them, it is considered the greatest common factor. The GCF is 2.

Sixth, divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF (2).
$4 \div 2 = 2 \\ 18 \div 2 = 9$

Seventh, we can now rewrite our fraction in simplest form and switch sides.
$f = \frac{2}{9}$

Answer in fraction form: $\fbox {2/9}$
Answer in decimal form: $\fbox {0.2222}$
