450

If he used 1/3 of the stock bottle, then you have
150=1/3x

Now, you multiply both sides by 3, which gives you

450=x

So, originally there were 450 bottles in the stock bottle

Answer:

<u />\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} }

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c

Special Limit Rule [L’Hopital’s Rule]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}

Differentiation

  • Derivatives
  • Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

  1. f(x) = cxⁿ
  2. f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify given limit</em>.

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3}

<u>Step 2: Find Limit</u>

Let's start out by <em>directly</em> evaluating the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3}
  2. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3} \\& = \frac{0}{0} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}

When we do evaluate the limit directly, we end up with an indeterminant form. We can now use L' Hopital's Rule to simply the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [L' Hopital's Rule]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\\end{aligned}
  2. [Limit] Differentiate [Derivative Rules and Properties]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  3. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  4. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \\& = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} } \\\end{aligned}

∴ we have <em>evaluated</em> the given limit.

The function y=-5x+2 is transformed by reflecting it over the y axis. What is the equation of the new function?
vampirchik [111]

y = mx + b

When a function is reflected over the y-axis, the b (2) stays the same but the slope (m) changes to its opposite sign.

since the slope is negative in this equation, it will become positive.

so the new fuction will be

y = 5x + 2

Use the information given to correctly complete the sentence.
IRISSAK [1]

Explanation: 54 yards is about 162 feet, and since we are converting measurements we need this ( duh ) and 135 seconds is approximately 2.25 minutes, so what we need to do is is divide the numbers like any conversion problem: 162 divided by 2.25  is 72.

Hope this answer helps!
