Answer:

-1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

lim x approaches -6     (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)

Rationalize

   (sqrt( 10-x) -4)      (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

    ------------------- * -------------------

       (x+6)                 (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2

a= ( sqrt(10-x)   b = 4    

(10-x) -16

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

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)    

-6-x

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

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Factor out -1 from the numerator

-1( x+6)

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

(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator

-1

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

(sqrt( 10-x) +4)

Now take the limit

lim x approaches -6    -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)

                                      -1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)

                                      -1/ (sqrt(16) +4)

                                      -1 /( 4+4)

                                        -1/8

Answer:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{\sqrt{10-x}-4}{x+6} =-\frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we should always try direct substitution:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{\sqrt{10-x}-4}{x+6} \\

Plug -6 in for x:

\frac{\sqrt{10-(-6)}-4}{(-6)+6} \\=\frac{\sqrt{16}-4}{-6+6}\\ =\frac{4-4}{-6+6}=0/0

This is the indeterminate form. This doesn't mean the limit does not exist, but rather we need to simplify it first.

Looking at the limit, we see that there is a square root in the numerator. Therefore, we can use the difference of two squares to cancel out the square root in the numerator. Recall the difference of two squares formula:

(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2

The expression in the numerator is:

\sqrt{10-x}-4

Therefore, to cancel it out, we need to multiply by:

\sqrt{10-x}+4

Essentially, you just change the sign. So, multiply both the numerator and denominator by this expression:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{\sqrt{10-x}-4}{x+6}\cdot\frac{\sqrt{10-x}+4}{\sqrt{10-x}+4}  \\

For the numerator, this is the difference of two squares pattern. Therefore:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{(\sqrt{10-x})^2-(4)^2}{x+6(\sqrt{10-x}+4)}

The roots in the numerator cancel. 4 squared is 16. Simplify:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{(10-x)-16}{x+6(\sqrt{10-x}+4)}

Simplify:

\lim_{x \to \ -6}\frac{-x-6}{x+6(\sqrt{10-x}+4)}

Factor out a negative 1 from the numerator:

\lim_{x \to \ -6}\frac{-(x+6)}{(x+6)(\sqrt{10-x}+4)}

The (x+6)s cancel out:

\lim_{x \to \ -6}\frac{-1}{(\sqrt{10-x}+4)}

Now, plug -6 again:

\frac{-1}{(\sqrt{10-(-6)}+4)}\\=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{16+4}}\\ =-1/(4+4)=-1/8=-.125

Therefore:

\lim_{x \to -6}\frac{\sqrt{10-x}-4}{x+6} =-\frac{1}{8}

A researcher wants to determine whether the number of minutes adults spend online per day is related to gender. A random sample
suter [353]

Answer:

The expected frequency for the cell E2,2 is = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is

Gender               | 0-30| 30-60| 60-90| 90+       Totals

Male                    | 23    |    35   |   76    |  46        180

<u> Female               |   31   |    42   |   46    |  16         135    </u>

<u>Totals                    54         77        122    62          315  </u>

<u />

The expected frequency for the cell E2,2 is :

Expected for the (30-60 box for females)   =  Total of (30-6)/ (total )* females

                                                                      = ( 77/315)135= 33

Here p= 77/315 and n= 135

therefor X= pn = 33

χ²=  (33-42)²/33= 2.455  ( for the single value of E2,2=33)

Expected for the (30-60 box for males)   =  Total of (30-6)/ (total )* males

                                                                      = ( 77/315)180= 44

χ²=  (44-42)²/44= 0.09

The critical region is  χ² (0.05) 3 ≥  χ²= 11.34

Let the null and alternate hypothesis be

H0:the number of minutes spent online per day is not related to gender

against

Ha: the number of minutes spent online per day is related to gender

The single value of χ² for E2,2 = 2.45 is less than the critical value of 11.34.
