Answer:
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer, we take Gordon's result, 3, and subtract 2, which is what he added to get 3. This gives us a result of 1. We then multiply by 2, as 1 was the quotient of dividing the original number by 2. This leaves us with an answer of 2.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given the limit of a function expressed as
, to evaluate the following steps must be carried out.
Step 1: substitute x = 0 into the function

Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the function
![= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ sin(x)-tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (x^3)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{cos(x)-sec^2(x)}{3x^2}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5B%20sin%28x%29-tan%28x%29%5D%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%28x%5E3%29%7D%5C%5C%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7Bcos%28x%29-sec%5E2%28x%29%7D%7B3x%5E2%7D%5C%5C)
Step 3: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function

Step 4: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 2
![= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ cos(x)-sec^2(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (3x^2)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{-sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)}{6x}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5B%20cos%28x%29-sec%5E2%28x%29%5D%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%283x%5E2%29%7D%5C%5C%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B-sin%28x%29-2sec%5E2%28x%29tan%28x%29%7D%7B6x%7D%5C%5C)

Step 6: Apply L'Hôpital's rule, by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the resulting function in step 4
![= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{\frac{d}{dx}[ -sin(x)-2sec^2(x)tan(x)]}{\frac{d}{dx} (6x)}\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^2(x)sec^2(x)+2sec^2(x)tan(x)tan(x)]}{6}\\\\= \lim_{ x\to \ 0} \dfrac{[ -cos(x)-2(sec^4(x)+2sec^2(x)tan^2(x)]}{6}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5B%20-sin%28x%29-2sec%5E2%28x%29tan%28x%29%5D%7D%7B%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%286x%29%7D%5C%5C%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5B%20-cos%28x%29-2%28sec%5E2%28x%29sec%5E2%28x%29%2B2sec%5E2%28x%29tan%28x%29tan%28x%29%5D%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Clim_%7B%20x%5Cto%20%5C%200%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5B%20-cos%28x%29-2%28sec%5E4%28x%29%2B2sec%5E2%28x%29tan%5E2%28x%29%5D%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C)
Step 7: substitute x = 0 into the resulting function in step 6
![= \dfrac{[ -cos(0)-2(sec^4(0)+2sec^2(0)tan^2(0)]}{6}\\\\= \dfrac{-1-2(0)}{6} \\= \dfrac{-1}{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5B%20-cos%280%29-2%28sec%5E4%280%29%2B2sec%5E2%280%29tan%5E2%280%29%5D%7D%7B6%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B-1-2%280%29%7D%7B6%7D%20%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B-1%7D%7B6%7D)

Answer:
Yes it does matter
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the median of the data set, we must first order them from lowest to highest in increasing order. Let's rearrange them in that way:
{17, 23, 30, 40, 44, 44}
Then we begin by crossing one off from each side, until we get to the middle. However, we see that our middle here is both 30 and 40.
What we do in a case like this is add up the two numbers and divide by 2 (essentially find the mean of the two middlemost numbers). Let's do that now:


So now we know that
the median of the set of data is 35.
Answer:
5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
(4,9) (-8, -6)
plug in
(-6 - 9) / (-8 - 4)
solve within parentheses
-15/-12
simplify
5/4
