<u>Answer:</u>

The 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects in the city of Austin

<u>Solution:</u>

The population of the bats increases to 2 million in the city of Austin

We have to find about how many insects would they consume?

Now, according to given information  

1.5 million bats ⇒ 15 tons of insects  

Now, 2 million bats ⇒ x tons of insects

Then by chris cross method  

1.5 \times x = 15 \times 2

x \times \frac{15}{10}=15 \times 2

\begin{array}{l}{x \times 15=15 \times 2 \times 10} \\\\ {x=2 \times 10=20}\end{array}

Hence, the 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects.

Limit as x approaches 0 of. (sin3xsin5x)/x^2
OLga [1]
The limit of the function <span>( sin3x sin5x ) / x^2 as x approaches zero is evaulated by substituting the function by zero. Since the answer is zero / zero which is indeterminate. Using L'hopitals rule, we derive separately the numerator and the denominator. we all know that sin 5x and sin 3x are equal to zero. Upon teh first derivative, the answer is still zero / zero. We derive further until the function has a denominator of 2 and a numerator still equal to zero. Since the answer is now zero/ 2 or zero not zero/zero, the limit then is equal to zero.</span>
