Keiths dog will need to lose 15 pounds to get down to 75 pounds. If he loses 1.25 pounds per week, it will take 12 weeks to get down to 75 pounds. To figure this out, you would use the equation:

90 - 75 = 15

15 / 1.25 = 12

That is how you would get 12 weeks.

CALC- limits<br> please show your method

gladu [14]

A. Factor the numerator as a difference of squares:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to9}\frac{x-9}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}\frac{(\sqrt x-3)(\sqrt x+3)}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}(\sqrt x+3)=6$

c. As $x\to\infty$ , the contribution of the terms of degree less than 2 becomes negligible, which means we can write

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2-4x-8}{x^2-9}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2}{x^2}=\lim_{x\to\infty}4=4$

e. Let's first rewrite the root terms with rational exponents:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{\sqrt[3]x-x}{\sqrt x-x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}$

Next we rationalize the numerator and denominator. We do so by recalling

$(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$
$(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)=a^3-b^3$

In particular,

$(x^{1/3}-x)(x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2)=x-x^3$
$(x^{1/2}-x)(x^{1/2}+x)=x-x^2$

so we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}\cdot\frac{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{1/2}+x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}$

For $x\neq0$ and $x\neq1$ , we can simplify the first term:

$\dfrac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}=\dfrac{x(1-x^2)}{x(1-x)}=\dfrac{x(1-x)(1+x)}{x(1-x)}=1+x$

So our limit becomes

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{(1+x)(x^{1/2}+x)}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}=\frac{(1+1)(1+1)}{1+1+1}=\frac43$
