Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}$

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1\cdot 5}{2}$

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{1}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\text{Marigold seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Therefore, Jane will use $\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

The LCD of 3 and 4 is 12. To make 4 into 12, we multiply it by three, so 3 would also have to be multiply by 3, turning 3/4 into 9/12.

The same thing applies to 1/3, only it needs to be multiplied by 4. So it would become 4/12

9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

1. Ans:(A) 123

Given function: $f(x) = 8x^2 + 11x$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2 + 11x)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(11x)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 2*8(x^{2-1}) + 11$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 16x + 11$

Now at x = 7:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 16(7) + 11$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 123$

2. Ans:(B) 3

Given function: $f(x) =3x + 8$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x + 8)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x) + \frac{d}{dx}(8)$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3*1 + 0$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3$

Now at x = 4:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(4) = 3$ (as constant)

=>Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(4) =$ 3

3. Ans:(D) -5

Given function: $f(x) = \frac{5}{x}$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{5}{x})$
or
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(5x^{-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 5*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -5x^{-2}$

Now at x = -1:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5(-1)^{-2}$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5 *\frac{1}{(-1)^{2}}$
=> Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5$

4. Ans:(C) 7 divided by 9

Given function: $f(x) = \frac{-7}{x}$
The derivative would be:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{-7}{x})$
or
$\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-7x^{-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -7*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})$
=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 7x^{-2}$

Now at x = -3:
$\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7(-3)^{-2}$

=> $\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7 *\frac{1}{(-3)^{2}}$
=> Ans: $\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = \frac{7}{9}$

5. Ans:(C) -8

Given function:
$f(x) = x^2 - 8$

Now if we apply limit:
$\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} (x^2 - 8)$

=> $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = (0)^2 - 8$
=> Ans: $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = - 8$

6. Ans:(C) 9

Given function:
$f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 1$

Now if we apply limit:
$\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2} (x^2 + 3x - 1)$

=> $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = (2)^2 + 3(2) - 1$
=> Ans: $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 4 + 6 - 1 = 9$

7. Ans:(D) doesn't exist.

Given function: $f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4}$
In this case, even if we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

Check:
$f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} \\ Rationalize: \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} * \frac{x^{-3}}{x^{-3}} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^{3-3} + x^{-3}}{x^0} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ Same$

If you apply the limit, answer would be infinity.

8. Ans:(A) Doesn't Exist.

Given function: $f(x) = 9 + \frac{x}{x^3}$
Same as Question 7
If we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

9, 10.
Please attach the graphs. I shall amend the answer. :)

11. Ans:(A) Doesn't exist.

First We need to find out: $\lim_{x \to 9} f(x)$ where,
$f(x) = \left \{ {{x+9, ~~~~~x \textless 9} \atop {9- x,~~~~~x \geq 9}} \right.$

If both sides are equal on applying limit then limit does exist.

Let check:
If x $\textless$ 9: answer would be 9+9 = 18
If x $\geq$ 9: answer would be 9-9 = 0

Since both are not equal, as $18 \neq 0$ , hence limit doesn't exist.

12. Ans:(B) Limit doesn't exist.

Find out: $\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)$ where,

$f(x) = \left \{ {{1-x, ~~~~~x \textless 1} \atop {x+7,~~~~~x \textgreater 1} } \right. \\ and \\ f(x) = 8, ~~~~~ x=1$

If all of above three are equal upon applying limit, then limit exists.

When x < 1 -> 1-1 = 0
When x = 1 -> 8
When x > 1 -> 7 + 1 = 8

ALL of the THREE must be equal. As they are not equal. 0 $\neq$ 8; hence, limit doesn't exist.

13. Ans:(D) -∞; x = 9

f(x) = 1/(x-9).

Table:

x f(x)=1/(x-9)

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

8.9 -10

8.99 -100

8.999 -1000

8.9999 -10000

9.0 -∞

Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=9, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=9 line. Also the curve is in downward direction when you approach from the left. Hence, -∞, x =9 (correct)

14. Ans: -6

s(t) = -2 - 6t

Inst. velocity = $\frac{ds(t)}{dt}$

Therefore,

$\frac{ds(t)}{dt} = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}(-2-6t) \\ \frac{ds(t)}{dt} = 0 - 6 = -6$

At t=2,

Inst. velocity = -6

15. Ans: +∞, x =7

f(x) = 1/(x-7)^2.

Table:

x f(x)= 1/(x-7)^2

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

6.9 +100

6.99 +10000

6.999 +1000000

6.9999 +100000000

7.0 +∞

Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=7, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=7 line. The curve is in upward direction if approached from left or right. Hence, +∞, x =7 (correct)
