From a pack of 9 cards numbered 1-9, three cards are drawn at random and laid on a table from left to right.
1 answer:
Answer: 1/6
Explanation: Since we need to draw three cards from a pack of 9 and the digits require an order, then our sample space becomes: 9P3.
Now, we don't care about picking an order when picking three cards to analyse, as there is only 1 way in arranging the three cards in descending order.
Thus, we get:

Factorize the denominator:
Then we find that ...
• When <em>c</em> = 15,
because the factors of <em>x</em> - 15 in the numerator and denominator cancel with each other. More precisely, we're talking about what happens to <em>f(x)</em> as <em>x</em> gets closer to 15, namely when <em>x</em> ≠ 15. Then we use the fact that <em>y</em>/<em>y</em> = 1 if <em>y</em> ≠ 0.
• When <em>c</em> = 16,
which is undefined; so this limit does not exist.
• When <em>c</em> = 17,
because the function is continuous at <em>x</em> = 17.
