Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?

Let x = - 5

3*(-5) - 9

-15 - 9

This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).

- 15 - 9 = - 24

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and -4 and whose leading coefficient is 2

Goryan [66]

Answer:

2x^2+4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic can be written as

f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots

f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)

a is the leading coefficient

f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)

= 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)

= 2(x^2 +2x-8)

= 2x^2 +4x-16

Can someone please explain how to do these?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

First question answer: The limit is 69

Second question answer: The limit is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first limit, plug in $x=8$ in the expression $(9x-3)$ , that's the answer for linear equations and limits.

So we have:

$9x-3\\9(8)-3\\72-3\\69$

The answer is 69

For the second limit, if we do same thing as the first, we will get division by 0. Also indeterminate form, 0 divided by 0. Thus we would think that the limit does not exist. But if we do some algebra, we can easily simplify it and thus plug in the value $x=1$ into the simplified expression to get the correct answer. Shown below:

$\frac{x^2+8x-9}{x^2-1}\\\frac{(x+9)(x-1)}{(x-1)(x+1)}\\\frac{x+9}{x+1}$

Now putting 1 in $x$ gives us the limit:

$\frac{x+9}{x+1}\\\frac{1+9}{1+1}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

So the answer is 5
