Limit of x^2-81/x+9 As x goes toward -9

Mathematics

Semmy [17]3 years ago

Hello,

Use the factoration

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

Then,

x^2 - 81 = x^2 - 9^2

x^2 - 9^2 = ( x - 9).(x + 9)

Then,

Lim (x^2- 81) /(x+9)

= Lim (x -9)(x+9)/(x+9)

Simplity x + 9

Lim (x -9)

Now replace x = -9

Lim ( -9 -9)

Lim -18 = -18
_______________

The second method without using factorization would be to calculate the limit by the hospital rule.

Lim f(x)/g(x) = lim f(x)'/g(x)'

Where,

f(x)' and g(x)' are the derivates.

Let f(x) = x^2 -81

f(x)' = 2x + 0
f(x)' = 2x

Let g(x) = x +9

g(x)' = 1 + 0
g(x)' = 1

Then the Lim stay:

Lim (x^2 -81)/(x+9) = Lim 2x /1

Now replace x = -9

Lim 2×-9 = Lim -18

= -18

Suppose a car going 65 mph is traveling north parallel to a train going 50 mph. Once the front of the car is as far north as the
scoray [572]

Answer:

0.75 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we have to find the difference in the distance the train and car travelled

65/60 is 1.083333 which is miles per minute then multiplied by 3 is 3.25 mile gone in 3 minutes

For the train it is 50/60 which is 0.833333 and the times 3 is 2.5 miles in three minutes

3.25 miles minus 2.5 miles is 0.75 miles so that is how long the train is
