How do you determine the limit algebraically?

Mathematics

Answer:

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard calculus question. If you search out L'Hopital's Rule you will find that there are only Calculus examples present. If you use calculus, the answer comes to 1/8. The only way I can think of doing this without the use of Calculus is to let x = something very small -- say x = 0.0001 That approaches 0, but it is not quite = to 0.

So let's try it.

16 + 0.00001  = 16.00001

sqrt(16.0001) = 4.00000125

Now subtract 4

4.00000125 - 4

0.00000125

Now divide by 0.00001

0.12499998

which is close to 0.125.

If someone else can give you an answer that is "purer" than this one, take it.

good morning fellow brainsters please help me i’m tired and i just drank a four loko... can’t think. will give 15 points
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

7. x=3

8. l=11cm and w=7 cm

9. x-5\ge12

10. \frac{x}{3}\le15

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 7.

The given expression is:

12-3(2x+1)=7x-3(7+x)

Expand the parenthesis using the distributive property:

12-6x-3=7x-21-3x

Group similar terms:

-6x-7x+3x=-21+3-12

Simplify

-10x=-30

Divide both sides by -10

x=3

Question 8:

Let the width of the rectangle be; w

The length of the rectangle is l=w+4

The perimeter is given as: P=2(l+w)

Given that the perimeter P=36, then:

36=2[(w+4)+w)]

\implies 36=2(2w+4)

Divide both sides by 2:

\implies 18=2w+4

Subtract 4 from both sides:

\implies 18-4=2w

\implies 14=2w

\implies w=7

The dimensions of the rectangle is: w=7 cm and l=7+4=11cm

Question 9

Let the number be x.

"5 fewer than the number" is written as x-5

"5 fewer than a number is at least 12" becomes

x-5\ge12

Question 10:

Let the number be x.

The quotient of a number and 3 is written as:

\frac{x}{3}

The quotient of a number and 3 is no more than 15 is written as;

\frac{x}{3}\le15

The equation of line WX is 2x + y = -5. What is the equation of a line perpendicular to line WX in slope-intercept form that con
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The third choice is the one you want

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are to write the equation of a line perpendicular to WX, we first must determine what the slope of the WX is, because the line perpendicular to WX has a slope that is the flip of the slope of WX with the opposite sign.  Solving for y takes care of finding the slope of WX:

2x + y = -5 so

y = -2x - 5

The slope is -2.  That means that the reciprocal slope is 1/2.  Using that slope along with the coordinates x = -1 and y = -2, we first write the line using point-slope form and then solve it for y.  Start by filling in the m, the x value and the y value:

y - (-2) = \frac{1}{2}(x-(-1))

Getting rid of the double negatives gives us:

y+2=\frac{1}{2}(x+1)

Distributing then gives us:

y+2=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

And finally solving for y (I am going to express the 2 on the left as 4/2 when I move it by subtraction in order to add those fractions):

y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{4}{2}

And the final equation in slope-intercept form is:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}
