What is lim x→3 x^2 - x - 6/ x - 3

Mathematics

Kisachek [45]3 years ago

<h3>Answer: D) 5</h3>

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

Explanation:

If we plugged x = 3 into the expression, then we'd get x-3 = 3-3 = 0 in the denominator. That's not allowed. But we can simplify first

x^2-x-6 factors to (x-3)(x+2). The key here is that (x-3) is a factor. It cancels with the x-3 in the denominator

So, \frac{x^2-x-6}{x-3} = \frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-3} = x+2

Allowing us to say,

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{x^2-x-6}{x-3} = \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{x-3}\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{x^2-x-6}{x-3} = \lim_{x \to 3}(x+2)\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{x^2-x-6}{x-3} = 3+2\\\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3}\frac{x^2-x-6}{x-3} = 5\\\\\\

2 years ago, father age was nine times the son age but 3 years later it will be 5 times only. find the present ages of the fathe
Goshia [24]

Answer:

<u><em>The Father is currently 47 and the Son is 7</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F and S be the present ages of Father and Son, respectively.

We are told that <u>(F-2) = 9(S-2)</u> [2 years ago, father age was nine times the son age]

We also learn that <u>(F+3) = 5(S+3)</u>  [3 years later it will be 5 times only]

Take the first expression and isolate one of the variables (S or F).  I'll isolate F:

(F-2) = 9(S-2)

F = 9S - 16

Now use this in the second expression:

(F+3) = 5(S+3)

((9S-16)+3) = 5(S+3)

9S-13 = 5S+15

4S = 28

S = 7

Since F = 9S-16,

F = 9*(7)-16

F = 47

<u><em>Father is 47 and Son is 7</em></u>

CHECK:

Was the father 9 times the age of his son 2 years ago?

Father would have been 45 and son 5.  Yes, 9*5 = 45

In 3 years will he be 5 times older than his son?  Yes, Father would be 50 and son would be 10.  5*(10) = 50
