( 2a + 3 ) - ( 4a - 8 ) = 7
2a + 3 - 4a + 8 = 7
-2a + 11 = 7
-2a = -4
a = -4 / -2
a = 2

For what value of constant c is the function k(x) continuous at x = 0 if k =

nlexa [21]

The value of constant c for which the function k(x) is continuous is zero.

<h3>What is the limit of a function?</h3>

The limit of a function at a point k in its field is the value that the function approaches as its parameter approaches k.

To determine the value of constant c for which the function of k(x) is continuous, we take the limit of the parameter as follows:

$\mathbf{ \lim_{x \to 0^-} k(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} k(x) = 0 }$

$\mathbf{\implies \lim_{x \to 0 } \ \ \dfrac{sec \ x - 1}{x}= c }$

Provided that:

$\mathbf{\implies \lim_{x \to 0 } \ \ \dfrac{sec \ x - 1}{x}= \dfrac{0}{0} \ (form) }$

Using l'Hospital's rule:

$\mathbf{\implies \lim_{x \to 0} \ \ \dfrac{\dfrac{d}{dx}(sec \ x - 1)}{\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)}= \lim_{x \to 0} sec \ x \ tan \ x = 0}$

Therefore:

$\mathbf{\implies \lim_{x \to 0 } \ \ \dfrac{sec \ x - 1}{x}=0 }$

Hence; c = 0

Calculate the area of the regular pentagon below: A regular pentagon with side length of 11.8 inches and dotted line from center

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Area of regular pentagon is 238.95 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a regular pentagon with side length of 11.8 inches and dotted line from center to middle of side of 8.1 inches.

we know a regular polygon divides into 5 congruent triangles.

Side of pentagon i.e base of one triangle is 11.8 inches.

Also, distance from center to middle of side which is height of triangle is 8.1 inches.

Area of 1 triangle= $\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 11.8\times 8.1$

= 47.79 sq inches.

Area of regular pentagon=area of 5 congruent triangles= $5\times 47.79$ =238.95 sq inches.

Write the standard form of the equation of a circle with radius 10 and center (9,3)

gladu [14]

Answer:

$(x-9)^{2}+(y-3)^{2} =100$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form formula for a circle equation is $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} =r^{2}$ , where (h,k) represents the center of the circle, and r represents the radius.

r=10

(h,k)= (9,3)

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} =r^{2}$

$(x-9)^{2}+(y-3)^{2} =10^{2}\\(x-9)^{2}+(y-3)^{2} =100$

Jim has gotten scores of 99 and 93 on his first two tests. what score must he get on his third test to keep an average of 90 or

romanna [79]

For the average to be 90,

(99 + 93 + x) / 3 = 90

or 192 + x = 270
or x = 270 - 192 = 78

Jim must score at least 78 in the third test.
