2.50 = .15x + .7
-.7 - .7
1.8 = .15x
12 = x
7 more dimes so 12 nickels and 19 dimes

Find the limit............

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: $-\frac{9}{x^2}$

====================================================

Work Shown:

$\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\frac{9}{x+\Delta x} - \frac{9}{x}}{\Delta x}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\frac{9x}{x(x+\Delta x)} - \frac{9(x+\Delta x)}{x(x+\Delta x)}}{\Delta x}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{\frac{9x-9(x+\Delta x)}{x(x+\Delta x)}}{\Delta x}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{9x-9x-9\Delta x}{x\Delta x(x+\Delta x)}\\\\\\$

$\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{-9\Delta x}{x\Delta x(x+\Delta x)}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{\Delta x \to 0^{+}} \frac{-9}{x(x+\Delta x)}\\\\\\\displaystyle \frac{-9}{x(x+0)}\\\\\\\displaystyle -\frac{9}{x^2}\\\\\\$

The trick here is to first simplify the expression so that the $\Delta x$ term in the very lower denominator cancels out. This is to avoid dividing by zero. Once this division by zero error is avoided, we can replace the delta x term with 0 and evaluate the limit as $\Delta x$ approaches 0 from the right or positive direction.

Determine if the triangles are similar. If similar, state how and complete the similarity statement.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so all the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees

180-42-62= 76

so we know angle TUS is 76 degrees

the other triangle has an angle of 78 degrees which isn't 42, 62, or 76.

The triangles are not similar because similar shapes have congruent angles

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M and the distance between P(-6, -1) and Q(1,2). Round to the nearest

nlexa [21]

Answer:

M(-3.5, 0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given points:</u>

P(-6, -1) and Q(1,2)

<u>Midpoint by using midpoint formula:</u>

x = (-6 + 1)/2 = -3.5
y = (-1 + 2)/2 = 0.5
M(-3.5, 0.5)
