N₁*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

n₁ + n₂ = 12

-----------

This means that:

n₁ = 12 - n₂

And:

(12 - n₂)*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

12*$0.10 - n₂*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*(5-2) = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*3 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.15 = $2.25

n₂*$0.15 = $2.25 - $1.20

n₂*$0.15 = $1.05

n₂ = ($1.05)/($0.15)

n₂ = 7

If n₂ = 7:

n₁ + 7 = 12

Therefore, n₁ = 5.

---------

Answer:

100 = 10^2

 so 10^9 * 10^2 = 10^11 kilometers in 100 years

Lim x>-1 x^2-x-2/x+1
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we directly evaluate the function at -1, we get 0/0, meaning we may still have a limit to find.

In this case, factoring the polynomial at the top would be helpful.

The polynomial can be factored to (x+1)(x-2), so the function would now turn out to be (x+1)(x-2)/(x+1)

The (x+1) cancel out, leaving you with (x-2), which you can directly evaluate by plugging in x as -1:

-1-2 = -3

Quick disclaimer: the function is still undefined at -1; it's just that the function gets closer and closer to -3 as you approach -1.

I hope this helped you.
