Answer:

The correct answer option is '='.

Step-by-step explanation:

There a number of different mathematical symbols to show equality or inequality or to compare two values if they are lesser or greater than the other value.

The symbol '=' means 'equals' or 'equal to',

the symbol '<' means lesser than; and

the symbol '>' means greater than.

So if x equals 3, then the symbol of 'equal to' will be used which is '='.

How to evaluate the limit

anzhelika [568]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}$

Both the numerator and denominator are continuous at $x=2$ , which means the quotient rule for limits applies:

$\dfrac{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x^2-x+6)}{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}(x+2)}=\dfrac{2^2-2+6}{2+2}=\dfrac84=2$

Perhaps you meant to write that $x\to-2$ instead? In that case, you would have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{x^2-x+6}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}\frac{(x+2)(x-3)}{x+2}=\lim_{x\to-2}(x-3)=-2-3=-5$

A tool that regulary sells for $18.50 is on for 20 % off what is the sale price?

denis23 [38]

So
20% of 18.50 = ____ 

to get this you multiply 
20% is .20 in decimal form 

18.50 x .20 = $3.70 

so 20% is $3.70, which means the discount is $3.70 

so then you subtract $3.70 from the original price of 18.50 and you get 

$14.80 which is your answer (:

Solve x. 10(2x - 4) = 100x

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

x=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 10. it will be 20x-40=100x. Subtract 20x from both sides. it will be 40=80x. Divide by 80 to leave the x by itself. x=40/80...in simplify form....its 1/2

Given that:

Day 1 = 3

Day 2 = 9

After the 2nd day, number of cells continue to triple ;
