Find limit as x approaches 1 for x-1/ x^2-3x+2

I'm going to assume that you meant the following:

(x-1)

---------------

x^2-3x+2

Factoring the denominator, we get:

(x-1)

------------

(x-1)(x-2)

Notice that we have x-1 in both the numerator and the denominator. This factor cancels. HOWEVER: x can still not equal 1, which would lead to div. by zero. With the factor x-1 cancelled, we have 1 / (x-2). As x approaches 1 from either side, y approaches 1 / (1-2), or 1 / (-1), or -1. Thus, the limit exists and is -1.

the boiling point of jet fuel is 329 degrees F. Rounded to the nearest degree, what is the temperature in degrees Celcius? Use the Formula: C = 5/9(F - 32), where C represents degrees celcius, and F represents degrees fahrenheit.

A). 165 degrees C

B). 183 degrees C

C). 201 degrees C

D). 535 degrees C

Solve:

C = 5/9(F - 32)

Simplify both sides:

C = 5/9(329 - 32) = 0

Simplify:

5/9

Equation at end of step 1:

C - (5/9 * 297) = 0

C - 165 = 0

Solve single variable:

C - 165 = 0

Add 165 to both sides:

C = 165

Therefore, Your answer would be, Letter Choice (A), (C = 165 degrees C

Hope that helps!!!!! Have a great day!!!!! : )

Determine the equation of the graph shown y = a(x - h)^2 + k

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

$y=-(x+1)^2+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

Is the equation of a vertical parabola written in vertex form

where

(h,k) is the vertex

a is the leading coefficient

In this problem we have

The vertex is the point (-1,4)

$(h,k)=(-1,4)$

substitute

$y=a(x+1)^2+4$

Find the value of a

we have the ordered pair (0,3)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the quadratic equation and solve for a

$3=a(0+1)^2+4$

$3=a+4\\a=3-4\\a=-1$

therefore

$y=-(x+1)^2+4$

A cone has radius 3.8 cm and height 7.6 cm. The radius and the height are doubled. Which of the following describes the effect o

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The volume is multiplied by 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone with a radius of 3.8 and a height of 7.6 is 114.92. Now let’s double them, the results come out to be 919.39, we divide these by each other and we get roughly 8 when you round. Therefore, your answer is 8.
