I'm going to assume that you meant the following:
(x-1)
---------------
x^2-3x+2
Factoring the denominator, we get:
(x-1)
------------
(x-1)(x-2)
Notice that we have x-1 in both the numerator and the denominator. This factor cancels. HOWEVER: x can still not equal 1, which would lead to div. by zero. With the factor x-1 cancelled, we have 1 / (x-2). As x approaches 1 from either side, y approaches 1 / (1-2), or 1 / (-1), or -1. Thus, the limit exists and is -1.
9^3 is in exponential form
I'll gladly help you, but I can't really read that.
Ronald has 5 sets of three yellow beads, if there are 2 blue beads for every set, what is the total amount of blue beads?
Answer:
Ishaan is 49 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Christopher be 'C'.
Let the present age of Ishaan be 'I'.
From the given data, we can form equations which will help us solve the problem.
Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. This means:
C = I - 20 . . . (1)
Fourteen years ago, Ishaan would have been (I -14) years old and Christopher (C - 14) years old.
From the data, I - 14 = 3(C - 14) . . . (2)
Substituting the value of C in Equation 2, we get:
I - 14 = 3(I - 20 - 14)
⇒ I - 14 = 3(I - 34)
⇒ I - 14 = 3I - 112
⇒ 2I = 112 + 14 = 98
⇒ I = 49
So, Ishaan is 49 years old.
