Answer:

x + y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the line use the point slope form. Then convert to the standard from. Begin by substituting m = -1 and (-2,6).

$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y - 6 = -1(x --2)\\y - 6 = -1(x+2)\\y - 6 = -x -2\\x + y - 6 = -2\\x + y = 4$

L=R*angle, but the angle *must* be in radians. So, just translate 43 degrees into radians: 43 * pi / 180, and you'll get:

L = 42 * ( 43 * pi / 180 ) ~ 31.504666, which rounded to the nearest hundredth is 31.50 cm.

In the limit

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} f(x)$

we're interested in the value that $f(x)$ converges to as $x$ gets closer to $c$ . So in fact $x\neq c$ .

In the given example, $f(x)$ is factorized to reveal a common factor of $x-1$ in the numerator and denominator. We have $x\neq1$ if $x\to1$ , so $x-1\neq0$ so we can simplify
