Answer:
approx. 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
14 newspapers in 20 minutes means he can deliver 42 newspapers an hour.
60/42 = 1.4285 newspapers per minute
131 x 1.4285 = 187.1335 minutes = 3.1188 hours
Answer:
the answer sdhould be the third one
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
6/18 = x/(20-x)
1/3 = x/(20-x) Multiply both sides by 20-x
(20-x)/3 = x Multiply both sides by 3
20-x = 3x Add x in both sides
20 = 4x Divide both sides by 4
5 = x
Wait what? Erm.. could you give is a little more detail so I can figure this out??
Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so it's asking for what (1/(x-1) - 2/(x^2-1)) approaches as x approaches 1. Before we deal with the limit, let's simplify the inside.
We want to combine the two fractions into one fraction. Therefore, we need a common denominator.
1/(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/((x+1)(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/(x^2-1).
the inside expression is therefore (x+1)/(x^2-1) - 2/(x^2-1)
which simplifies to (x-1)/(x^2-1).
and that simplifies further to 1/(x+1).
Now this is a continuous function when x = 1, so to find the limit as x approaches 1 of this function, we can by definition just plug 1 in.
limx->1 (1/(x+1)) = 1/2.
The reason why we didn't just plug 1 in at the beginning is because the function wasn't continuous when x was 1.
