Answer: $\frac{11}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Give expression is,

$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}$

Since L.C.M ( 12, 8 ) = 24

$=\frac{10\times 2}{12\times 2}-\frac{3\times 3}{8\times 3}$

$=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{9}{24}$

$=\frac{20-9}{24}$

$=\frac{11}{24}$

$\text{Hence, }\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{24}$

10) A new car is available in a sedan model and

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Option (C) n = 256

Therefore, there are 256 ways to select a car with 2 car models, 8 different colors and any combinations of 4 optional features.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new car is available in a sedan model and a hatchback model.

So that means customers can select the model of the car in,

n₁ = 2 ways

It is available in eight different colors.

After selecting the model, customers can select the color of the car in,

n₂ = 8 ways

Customers can choose to add any combination of four optional features.

After selecting the color, customers have the choice to add any combination of 4 optional features,

n₃ = 4² = 16 ways

Which means that there are 16 different ways to add 4 optional features e.g.

1. 0, 0, 0, 0

2. 0, 0, 0, 1

3. 0, 0, 1, 0

4. 0, 0, 1, 1

and the list goes on to 16 different ways.

Now the total ways to select a car is given by

n = n₁*n₂*n₃

n = 2*8*16

n = 256

Therefore, there are 256 ways to select a car with 2 car models, 8 different colors and any combinations of 4 optional features.

Identify the functions that are continuous on the set of real numbers and arrange them in ascending order of their limits as x t

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $f(x)=\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}$

The denominator of f is defined for all real values of x

Therefore, the function is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+x-20}{x^2+4}=\frac{25+5-20}{25+4}=\frac{10}{29}=0.345$

3. $h(x)=\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}$

$x^2-5x+7=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function h is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{3x-5}{x^2-5x+7}=\frac{15-5}{25-25+7}=\frac{10}{7}=1.43$

2. $g(x)=\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}$

The denominator of g is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function g is continuous on the set of real numbers

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x-17}{x^2+75}=\frac{5-17}{25+75}=\frac{-12}{100}=-0.12$

4. $i(x)=\frac{x^2-9}{x-9}$

x-9=0

x=9

The function i is not defined for x=9

Therefore, the function i is not continuous on the set of real numbers.

5. $j(x)=\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}$

The denominator of j is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function j is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{4x^2-7x-65}{x^2+10}=\frac{100-35-65}{25+10}=0$

6. $k(x)=\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}$

$x^2+x+29=0$

It cannot be factorize .

Therefore, it has no real values for which it is not defined .

Hence, function k is defined for all real values.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x+1}{x^2+x+29}=\frac{5+1}{25+5+29}=\frac{6}{59}=0.102$

7. $l(x)=\frac{5x-1}{x^2-9x+8}$

$x^2-9x+8=0$

$x^2-8x-x+8=0$

$x(x-8)-1(x-8)=0$

$(x-8)(x-1)=0$

$x=8,1$

The function is not defined for x=8 and x=1

Hence, function l is not defined for all real values.

8. $m(x)=\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}$

The denominator of m is defined for all real values of x.

Therefore, the function m is continuous on the set of real numbers.

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 5}\frac{x^2+5x-24}{x^2+11}=\frac{25+25-24}{25+11}=\frac{26}{36}=\frac{13}{18}=0.722$

g(x)<j(x)<k(x)<f(x)<m(x)<h(x)
