5) Linda picked a basket of apples. She gave half of the apples to a neighbor, then 10 apples to her mother, then half of the re

maining apples to her best friend, and she kept the remaining 3 apples for herself. How many apples did she start with in the basket?
I need help this is due this Wednesday on my college math class! ASAP!!! This needs to be shown full work for full credit!!

This is because of the coefficient presented in the x² term. The number -4 is much greater than -6. Graphing these equations into a graphing paper or excel, you would get a parabola.

Evaluate the limit

wel

We are given with a limit and we need to find it's value so let's start !!!!

${\quad \qquad \blacktriangleright \blacktriangleright \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}$

But , before starting , let's recall an identity which is the <em>main key</em> to answer this question

${\boxed{\bf{a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)}}}$

Consider The limit ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}$

Now as directly putting the limit will lead to <em>indeterminate form 0/0.</em> So , <em>Rationalizing</em> the <em>numerator</em> i.e multiplying both numerator and denominator by the <em>conjugate of numerator </em>

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}{(x^{2}-4^{2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Using the above algebraic identity ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-(\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})^{2}}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-(3\sqrt{x}-2)}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}+2}{\{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-2^{2}\}(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , here we <em>need</em> to <em>eliminate (√x-2)</em> from the denominator somehow , or the limit will again be <em>indeterminate </em>,so if you think <em>carefully</em> as <em>I thought</em> after <em>seeing the question</em> i.e what if we <em>add 4 and subtract 4</em> in <em>numerator</em> ? So let's try !

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2+4-4}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(x-4)+2+4-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , using the same above identity ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+6-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+3(2-\sqrt{x})}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , take minus sign common in <em>numerator</em> from 2nd term , so that we can <em>take (√x-2) common</em> from both terms

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)-3(\sqrt{x}-2)}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , take<em> (√x-2) common</em> in numerator ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Cancelling the <em>radical</em> that makes our <em>limit again and again</em> <em>indeterminate</em> ;

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}+2-3)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-1)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}$

Now , <em>putting the limit ;</em>

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{\sqrt{4}-1}{(\sqrt{4}+2)(4+4)(\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{4}-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{2-1}{(2+2)(4+4)(2+\sqrt{3\times 2-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{6-2})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{4})}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+2)}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(4)}}$

${:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{128}}$

${:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \underline{\underline{\displaystyle \bf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}=\dfrac{1}{128}}}}$

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 7) and (5, -9)

Fantom [35]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-9-7)/(5-5)

= (-16)/0

When we divide by zero, the slope is undefined
