Answer: $161.85

Step-by-step explanation: $220 is the original price. you want to first deduct the 30% tax. Find out the 30% tax by multiplying 220 x .30 = 66. So deduct the $66 from $220 to get $154. That is the price. You will need to add on the 5.1% tax. So to get the tax you multiply $154 by .051 to get $7.854. Add that to the $154 sales price to get a total of $161.854. But since money, you can't have a portion of a cent so you round the 4 down

Match the fractions with Equivalent percentages

Mrrafil [7]

In order to match each of the pairs you need to divide the numerator by the denominator to make it into a decimal.

Below are the pairs:

21/25 = 84%

13/20 = 65%

2/5 = 40%

3/4 = 75%

3/5 = 60%

1. Ans:(A) 123

Given function: $f(x) = 8x^2 + 11x$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2 + 11x)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(11x)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 2*8(x^{2-1}) + 11$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 16x + 11$

Now at x = 7:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 16(7) + 11$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 123$

2. Ans:(B) 3

Given function: $f(x) =3x + 8$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x + 8)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x) + \frac{d}{dx}(8)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3*1 + 0$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3$

Now at x = 4:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(4) = 3$ (as constant)

=>Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(4) =$ 3

3. Ans:(D) -5

Given function: $f(x) = \frac{5}{x}$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{5}{x})$
or
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(5x^{-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 5*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -5x^{-2}$

Now at x = -1:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5(-1)^{-2}$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5 *\frac{1}{(-1)^{2}}$
=> Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5$

4. Ans:(C) 7 divided by 9

Given function: $f(x) = \frac{-7}{x}$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{-7}{x})$
or
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-7x^{-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -7*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 7x^{-2}$

Now at x = -3:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7(-3)^{-2}$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7 *\frac{1}{(-3)^{2}}$
=> Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = \frac{7}{9}$

5. Ans:(C) -8

Given function:
$f(x) = x^2 - 8$

Now if we apply limit:
$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} (x^2 - 8)$

=> $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = (0)^2 - 8$
=> Ans: $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = - 8$

6. Ans:(C) 9

Given function:
$f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 1$

Now if we apply limit:
$\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2} (x^2 + 3x - 1)$

=> $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = (2)^2 + 3(2) - 1$
=> Ans: $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 4 + 6 - 1 = 9$

7. Ans:(D) doesn't exist.

Given function: $f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4}$
In this case, even if we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

Check:
$f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} \\ Rationalize: \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} * \frac{x^{-3}}{x^{-3}} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^{3-3} + x^{-3}}{x^0} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ Same$

If you apply the limit, answer would be infinity.

8. Ans:(A) Doesn't Exist.

Given function: $f(x) = 9 + \frac{x}{x^3}$
Same as Question 7
If we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

9, 10.
Please attach the graphs. I shall amend the answer. :)

11. Ans:(A) Doesn't exist.

First We need to find out: $\lim_{x \to 9} f(x)$ where,
$f(x) = \left \{ {{x+9, ~~~~~x \textless 9} \atop {9- x,~~~~~x \geq 9}} \right.$

If both sides are equal on applying limit then limit does exist.

Let check:
If x $\textless$ 9: answer would be 9+9 = 18
If x $\geq$ 9: answer would be 9-9 = 0

Since both are not equal, as $18 \neq 0$ , hence limit doesn't exist.

12. Ans:(B) Limit doesn't exist.

Find out: $\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)$ where,

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1-x, ~~~~~x \textless 1} \atop {x+7,~~~~~x \textgreater 1} } \right. \\ and \\ f(x) = 8, ~~~~~ x=1$

If all of above three are equal upon applying limit, then limit exists.

When x < 1 -> 1-1 = 0
When x = 1 -> 8
When x > 1 -> 7 + 1 = 8

ALL of the THREE must be equal. As they are not equal. 0 $\neq$ 8; hence, limit doesn't exist.

13. Ans:(D) -∞; x = 9

f(x) = 1/(x-9).

Table:

x f(x)=1/(x-9)

----------------------------------------

8.9 -10

8.99 -100

8.999 -1000

8.9999 -10000

9.0 -∞

Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=9, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=9 line. Also the curve is in downward direction when you approach from the left. Hence, -∞, x =9 (correct)

14. Ans: -6

s(t) = -2 - 6t

Inst. velocity = $\frac{ds(t)}{dt}$

Therefore,

$\frac{ds(t)}{dt} = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}(-2-6t) \\ \frac{ds(t)}{dt} = 0 - 6 = -6$

At t=2,

Inst. velocity = -6

15. Ans: +∞, x =7

f(x) = 1/(x-7)^2.

Table:

x f(x)= 1/(x-7)^2

--------------------------

6.9 +100

6.99 +10000

6.999 +1000000

6.9999 +100000000

7.0 +∞

Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=7, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=7 line. The curve is in upward direction if approached from left or right. Hence, +∞, x =7 (correct)
