There would be 30 people pulling it. To work it out you do 16 divided by 8=2. Then you do 60 divided by 2= 30.<u />

$8\ people\ for\ 16\ ton\ truck\\
x\ people\ for \ 60 \ ton\ truck\\\\
proportion:\\
8-16\\
x-60\\\\ cross\ multiplication\\\\
8*60=16x\\\\
480=16x\ \ \ \ | divide\ by\ 16\\\\
x=30\\\\
It\ will\ take\ 30\ people.$

What’s the correct answer for this ? Two chords AB and CD intersect at E. If AE = 2cm, EB =4, and CE = 2.5 cm, find the length o

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

ED = 3.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to chord-chord power theorem,

(AE)(EB) = (CE)(ED)

2*4 = 2.5 *ED

8/2.5 = ED

ED = 3.2 cm

Find the following:

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Limit refers to the value that the function approaches as the input approaches some value.

We say $\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)=L$ , if f(x) approaches L as x approaches 'a'.

(a)

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\left ( \frac{f(x)-8}{x-5} \right )=4\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}5}=4\\$

$\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5}=4\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4\left ( \displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5 \right )\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-4(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=4(5)-4(5)\\$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=20-20=0\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)=8$

(b)

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\left ( \frac{f(x)-8}{x-5} \right )=7\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}5}=7\\\frac{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8}{\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5}=7\\$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7\left ( \displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-5 \right )\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}x-7(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=7(5)-7(5)\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)-8=35-35=0\\\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 5}f(x)=8$
