2x + 10...the common number between these 2 terms is 2...so factor the 2 out
2(x + 5) <==
Answer:
6 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Total length of the ribbon= 15 3/4 m= 63/4 m
One piece= 9 1/2 m= 19/2 m
Other piece length =X
X= 63/4-19/2
=63/4-38/4
=25/4
=6 1/4
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 + 12.5 > 11x - 3.5 - 2x
16.5 = 5.5x
16.5/5.5 = x
The numerical coefficient of this term is -3.
Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real
number. Prove that
lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .
Solution. Notice that
2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .
So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial
long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x –
2.
Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number
such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| <
1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So
|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|
= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2
< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2
= 40
Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2
+ x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.
