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

If 12,025 was invested at 3.25% compounded monthly 3 years, how much interest will be earned
wariber [46]

Answer:

$1,229.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 3.25% into a decimal:

3.25% -> \frac{3.25}{100} -> 0.0325

Since the interest is compounded monthly, we will use 12 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

A=12,025(1+\frac{0.0325}{12})^{12(3)}

A=13,254.75

Lastly, subtract A from P to get the interest earned:

13,254.75 - 12,025 = 1,229.75
