Answer:

  2(x -2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number, then the difference of the number and 2 is ...

  x -2

Twice the difference is ...

  2(x -2)

"equals 5" means that product is equal to 5. The appropriate equation is ...

  2(x -2) = 5

_____

<em>In case you want a solution ...</em>

Dividing by 2, we get ...

  x -2 = 5/2

Adding 2 gives the value of the number:

  x = 2 +5/2 = 9/2

  x = 4 1/2

The number is 4 1/2.

Find ModifyingBelow lim With h right arrow 0limh→0StartFraction f (x plus h )minus f (x )Over h EndFraction f(x+h)−f(x) h for th
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Answer is 88

Step-by-step explanation:

We have Given function

f(x)=88x-77

we have to find f'(x) at x=3  Where f'(x) shows derivative of the given function.

This means we need

f'(3)=?

So By definition of the Derivative that is

f'(x)=lim(h---->0)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h

so this our definition of derivative of the function

Now We have to find out at x=3, So By putting x =3 in definition ,We get

f'(3)=lim(h---->0)(f(3+h)-f(3))/h

   Here lim(h--->0) means limit h approaches to zero(right arrow 0limh→0)

     =lim(h---->0)((88(3+h)-77))-(88(3)-77))/h

     =lim(h---->0)((264+88h-77)-264+77)/h

     =lim(h----->0)(264+88h-77-264+77)/h

now by performing simple arithematic we get result

f'(3) = lim(h---->0)(88h/h)

f('3) = lim(h---->0)(88)

here we use law of the limit we limit of the constant is that constant

lim(h----->0)c=c

so

f'(3)=88

So this our answer
