Let me express the equation clearly:

lim x→-9  (x²-81)/(x+9)

Initially, we solve this by substituting x=-9 to the equation. 

((-9)²-81)/(-9+9) = 0/0

The term 0/0 is undefined. This means that the solution is not see on the number line because it is imaginary. Other undefined terms are N/0 (where N is any number), 0⁰, 0×∞, ∞-∞, 1^∞ and ∞/∞. One way to solve this is by applying L'Hopitals Rule. This can be done by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the fraction independently. Then, you can already substitute the x=-9.

(2x-0)/(1+0) = 2x = 2(-9) = -18

The other easy way is to substitute x=-8.999 to the original equation. Note that the term x→-9 means that x only approaches to -9. Thus, you substitute a number that is very close to -9. Substituting x=-8.999

((-8.999)²-81)/(-8.999+9) = -18

There were some pieces of candy in a bowl. Shirley took half of them. Then Rose took half of the pieces left in the bowl. After
dexar [7]

Answer:

Number of pieces of candy in the bowl=64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x=number of pieces of candy in a bowl

Shirley took=1/2 of x

=1/2x

Remaining

x-1/2x

= 2x-x/2

=1/2x

Rose took half of the pieces left in the bowl=1/2 of 1/2x

=1/2*1/2x

=1/4x

Remaining

1/2x-1/4x

=2x-x/4

=1/4x

Susan took 1/2 of the remaining pieces of candy=1/2 of 1/4x

=1/2*1/4x

=1/8x

Remaining 8

1/8x=8

x=8÷1/8

=8*8/1

=64

x=64

A Park ranger tags 100 animals. Use a proportion to estimate the total population for each sample.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

It is given that A Park ranger tags 100 animals.

This means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{100}{x}

where 'x' represents the total population of animals.

We have to find total number of animals in each parts.

1)

23 out of 100 animals are tagged.

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{23}{100}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{23}{100}=\dfrac{100}{x}

⇒ x=\dfrac{100\times 100}{23}=434.783

which is approximately equal to 435.

Hence, the total population =435.

3)

8 out of 116 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{8}{116}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{8}{116}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=\dfrac{100\times 116}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{11600}{8}=1450

which is approximately equal to 1450

Hence, the total population =1450.

4)

5 out of 63 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{5}{63}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{5}{63}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=1260

Hence, the total population =1260.

5)

4 out of 83 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{4}{83}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{4}{83}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=\dfrac{100\times 83}{4}\\\\x=2075

Hence, the total population =2075.

6)

3 out 121 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{3}{121}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{3}{121}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=\dfrac{100\times 121}{3}\\\\x=4033.33

Hence, the total population =4033.

7)

83 out of 125 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{83}{125}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{83}{125}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=\dfrac{100\times 125}{83}\\\\x=150.6024

Hence, the total population =151.

8)

7 out 165 animals are tagged

That means the proportion of animals tagged= \dfrac{7}{165}

Now we know that the proportion must be equal.

 \dfrac{7}{165}=\dfrac{100}{x}

x=\dfrac{100\times 165}{7}\\\\x=2357.143

Hence, the total population =2357.
