L=Lim tan(x)^2/x x->0

Since both numerator and denominator evaluate to zero, we could apply l'Hôpital rule by taking derivatives.

d(tan^2(x))/dx=2tan(x).d(tan(x))/dx = 2tan(x)sec^2(x)

d(x)/dx = 1

L=2tan(x)sec^2(x)/1 x->0

= (2(0)/1^2)/1

=0/1

Another way using series,

We know that tan(x) = x+x^3/3+2x^5/15+.....

then tan^2(x), using binomial expansion gives

x^2+2*x^4/3+.... (we only need two terms)

and again apply l'Hôpital's rule, we have

L=d(x^2+2x^4/3+...)/d(x) = (2x+8x^3/3+...)/1

=0 as x->0

I'm really not sure how to go about solving this algebraic equation, please help! .513 = (2x)^2 / (.05-x)

LiRa [457]

Let's set it up like this:
$0.513=\frac{\left(2x\right)^2}{\left(0.05-x\right)}$
Multiply both sides by $0.05-x$
$0.513\left(0.05-x\right)=\frac{\left(2x\right)^2}{0.05-x}\left(0.05-x\right)$
$0.513\left(0.05-x\right)=4x^2$
We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:
$x=-\frac{0.513+\sqrt{0.673569}}{8},\:x=\frac{\sqrt{0.673569}-0.513}{8}$
The variable $x$ can be both positive or negative.

Steel loading ramps are used to load a

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

6.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the length of the ramp in feet.

We have been given that steel loading ramps are used to load a lawn mower onto a truck bed 37.5 inches above the ground. The ramp make a 30° angle with the ground.

We can see from our attachment that ramp and truck bed forms a right triangle with ground. The truck bed is opposite side and length of ramp is hypotenuse of our given angle.

Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to solve for L.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 75 inches.

Let us convert the length of ramp in feet.

1 feet = 12 inches.

Therefore, the length of the ramp is 6.25 feet.

Which function has a vertex at (2, 6)?

vlabodo [156]

The function f(x) = 2|x – 2| + 6 has a vertex at (2, 6) option second is correct.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function that has vertex at (2, 6)

The options are:

f(x) = 2|x – 2| – 6

f(x) = 2|x – 2| + 6

f(x) = 2|x + 2| + 6

f(x) = 2|x + 2| – 6

As we know the vertex form of a quadratic function is given by:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Similarly, mod function can be expressed as:

m(x) = a|x - h| + k

Here (h, k) is the vertex of a function.

In the function:

f(x) = 2|x – 2| + 6

The vertex of the function is (2, 6)

Thus, the function f(x) = 2|x – 2| + 6 has a vertex at (2, 6) option second is correct.
