What is the x coordinate in the solution of the system of equations y =-2/3x and 4x - 9y =-40

1 answer:

6 0

The two given equations are:
y = -2/3 x
4x - 9y = -40

Substitute by the first equation in the second as follows:
4x - 9(-2/3 x) = -40
4x + 6x = -40
10x = -40
x = -4

Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and $\varepsilon>0$ , we want to find a $\delta$ such that $|f(x)-14|$

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that $|x-5|$ . Then

$|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta$ .

Then, if $|x-5|$ , then $|f(x)-14|$ . So, in this case, if $3\delta \leq \varepsilon$ we get that $|f(x)-14|$ . The maximum value of delta is $\frac{\varepsilon}{3}$ .
