John is trying to drain a swimming pool. He has two pumps, but he can only use one at a time. He knows that the time a pump take

s to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump. His old pump is a 40 watt pump, and it can drain the pool in 5 hours. How long would the job take if he uses his new 100 watt pump?

What do you mean this sentence?
the time a pump takes to drain the pool varies inversely with the power in watts of the pump,
The meaning would be : if we have a power in watts greater the time to drag the pool will be less because the relation between power and time is inverse.  

40 watts--------------5 hours) 
100 watts------------  x

because the relation between power and time is inverse, we multiply directly.
40 watts(5 hours)=100 watts x
x=(200 watts hours) / 100 watts=2 hours.

Answer: the time would be 2 hours.   (the new pump is faster)

Answers:
The limit as x approaches 3 does not exist (DNE)

The function value f(3) is equal to 5, so f(3) = 5

In short, the answer is choice B

=============================================

Explanations:

Let's start with computing the limit. First locate 3 on the x axis. Then move slightly to the left of 3, say to x = 2. Draw a vertical line upward until you hit the function curve. Mark the point on the function curve and then drag that point closer and closer to x = 3. Notice how y is getting loser to y = 3.

Then do the same for the other side of x = 3. Start at x = 4 and move to the left to get to x = 3. Get closer and closer, and you'll notice that y is getting closer to y = 5. These two differing y values tell us that the limit as x approaches 3 does not exist. 

Alternatively: The left hand limit (LHL) and right hand limit (RHL) are different, so the overall limit does not exist. 

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

The function value f(3) is simply 5 because we draw a vertical line through x = 3 and it intersects the function at (3,5). Take note how I'm focusing on the closed circle and not the open circle. The open circle is a gap or hole in the graph.

Note: because the limit at x = 3 and the function value at x = 3 differ, this means we have a discontinuity.

F(x)=-3x • G(x) = x +7
kirill [66]

Answer:

-3x^2 - 21x

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is representing multiplying two functions :

We are finding f(x) * g(x)

We know that f(x) is -3x and g(x) is x + 7, therefore :

(-3x)(x + 7)

Follow FOIL :

First :

(-3x)(x)

-3x^2

Outer :

(-3x)(7)

-21x

Therefore the answer is :

-3x^2 - 21x
