Answer:

-1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1/x-1/3}{x-3}$

For simplicity, let's multiply top and bottom by 3x:

$\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{3-x}{3x(x-3)}$

Factor out a -1:

$\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{-(x-3)}{3x(x-3)}$

Divide top and bottom by x−3:

$\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{-1}{3x}$

Evaluate the limit:

$\frac{-1}{3(3)}\\-\frac{1}{9}$

It's important to note that the function doesn't exist at x = 3. As x <em>approaches</em> 3, the function <em>approaches</em> -1/9.

Maysoun drove 1116 kilometers in 12 hours. At the same rate, how long would it take her to drive 651 kilometers?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

12hrs=1116kms

1hr=1116÷12

1hr=93kms

Xhrs=651kms

Xhrs=(651÷93) ×1

=7×1

If Rick wishes to reduce his BMI to 27, he needs to eat fewer kcalories than he expends. For an adolescent who carries excess fa

Nesterboy [21]

This question is not complete because his height and age was not indicated in the above question.

Complete Question:

Rick is a healthy 19-year-old college student who is 70 inches tall and weighs 205 pounds. He has decided to "get a six-pack" over the summer with a diet and exercise program. As part of his new plan, he has stopped drinking soda and is eating more salads in addition to his usual diet. Besides of these changes, he is unclear on how to proceed to reach his fitness goal. Rick's mother wants to make sure his approach will not interfere with his normal growth and development, and has asked him to seek reliable information to help him make a reasonable plan.

If Rick wishes to reduce his BMI to 27, he needs to eat fewer kcalories than he expends. For an adolescent who carries excess fat, the recommended maximal weight loss is one pound per week. Since there are 3500 kcalories in a pound of body fat, a deficit of 3500 kcalories for the week or 500 kcalories per day would be required. Calculate the maximum number of kcalories Rick can consume per day to achieve a weight loss of one pound per week. Assume that his weight is 205 pounds and that his physical activity factor is "low active."

Answer:

2696 kilocalories

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

First we need to calculate Rick's Basal Metabolic Rate( BMR)

Weight in pounds = 205 pounds

Age = 19 years

Height in inches = 70 inches

The formula for calculating Basal Metabolic Rate for men =

BMR = 66.47 + ( 6.24 × weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 × height in inches ) − ( 6.755 × age in years )

BMR = 66.47 + ( 6.24 × 205 ) + ( 12.7 × 70 ) − ( 6.755 × 19)

= 2247

STEP 2:

The next step is to calculate the maximum amount kilocalories per day Rick should consume

Formula is given as :

For a person with physical activity factor of a ' low Active'

Maximum amount of kilocalories to consume per day = Basal Metabolic rate × 1.2

= 2247 × 1.2

= 2696 Kilocalories (kcalories) per day

How do you find each measure for #7?

Lunna [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

From this figure TUW+WUV=TUV ; (5x+3)+(10x-5)=17x-16 so 15x-2=17x-16 ;14=2x therefore x=7

then substitute x on it.

TUW=5x+3=5(7)+3=35+3=38

WUV=10x-5=10(7)-5=70-5=65

TUV=17x-16=17(7)-16=119-16=103

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence 6, 48, 384, ...

gregori [183]

Answer:

r = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio r of a geometric sequence is

r = $\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }$ = $\frac{a_{3} }{a_{2} }$ = ..... = $\frac{a_{n} }{a_{n-1} }$

Then

r = $\frac{48}{6}$ = $\frac{384}{48}$ = 8

Write a complete sentence that states the type of transformation that was performed and explains the transformation in detail. Q

Cerrena [4.2K]

The type of transformation that has happened is a translation. Translation is when the image's size nor shape changes after transformation. every point in the image moves the same distance in the same direction.
the equation for the translation mentioned is;
T4, -5(x,y)
this means that every point in the image has moved down by 5 units and moved to the right by 4 units.
Point A to Point E
Point A - (-4,-1)
after translation (x+4, y-5) = (-4+4,-1-5)
= (0,-6) these are the coordinates of point E.
the other three points too have moved the same distance and direction as point A did.
