Answer:
-1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
lim x approaches -6 (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)
Rationalize
(sqrt( 10-x) -4) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
------------------- * -------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2
a= ( sqrt(10-x) b = 4
(10-x) -16
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-6-x
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Factor out -1 from the numerator
-1( x+6)
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator
-1
-------------------
(sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Now take the limit
lim x approaches -6 -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)
-1/ (sqrt(16) +4)
-1 /( 4+4)
-1/8
Subtract the two numbers to find the measurement of the leftover piece
5.6 - 1.71 = 3.89 feet
Y=-3x+2 bc the line is going down so it’s negative and the y intercept is 2
What is the the x’s value?
