Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues are:

1. x – y = 16         (so x is the larger number)

2. y / x = 5 / 7

 

rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:

y = (5/7) x

 

combining 1 and 2:

x – (5/7) x = 16

(2/7) x = 16

x = 56

 

y = (5/7) x = 40

 

So the two numbers are 56 and 40.

Use the limit theorem and the properties of limits to find the limit.<br> Picture provided below
sashaice [31]

Answer:

b. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

lim        (x -3)(x +2)

x-->-∞    ---------------

              2x^2 + x +1

= lim        (x^2 -3x +2x - 6)

x-->-∞    -----------------------

              2x^2 + x +1

= lim        (x^2 -x - 6)

x-->-∞    -----------------------

              2x^2 + x +1

When we plug in x = -∞, we get indeterminate form.

Now we have to use the L'hospital rule.

d/dx (x^2 - x - 6) = 2x -1

d/dx (2x^2 + x + 1) = 4x + 1

Now apply the limit

lim            (2x - 1) / (4x + 1)

x--->-∞

Here we have to degree of the numerator and the denominator of the same. In this case, if x --> -∞, we get the result as the coefficient of the leading term as the result.

According to the rule, we get

= 2/4

Which can simplified as 1/2

The answer is 1/2

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
