What is the slope of the equation-3=-4(x-5)

scZoUnD [109]

You need to simplify it first.
$-3=-4(x-5)$
Use distribution
$-3=-4x+20$
y=mx+b
m=slope
your slope is -4 :)

<h3>Answer: -2</h3>

======================================================

Work Shown:

$\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{x-1}-2x }{ x-7 }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \frac{1}{x}\left(\sqrt{x-1}-2x\right) }{ \frac{1}{x}\left(x-7\right) }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \frac{1}{x}*\sqrt{x-1}-\frac{1}{x}*2x }{ \frac{1}{x}*x-\frac{1}{x}*7 }\\\\\\$

$\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}}*\sqrt{x-1}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}*(x-1)}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{ \sqrt{0-0}-2 }{ 1-0 }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{-2}{1}\\\\\\\displaystyle L = -2\\\\\\$

-------------------

Explanation:

In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by 1/x. This divides every term by x. Doing this leaves us with various inner fractions that have the variable in the denominator. Those inner fractions approach 0 as x approaches infinity.

I'm using the rule that

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x^k} = 0\\\\\\$

where k is some positive real number constant.

Using that rule will simplify the expression greatly to leave us with -2/1 or simply -2 as the answer.

In a sense, the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are -2x and x respectively. They are the largest terms for each, so to speak. As x gets larger, the influence that -2x and x have will greatly diminish the influence of the other terms.

This effectively means,

$\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{x-1}-2x }{ x-7 } = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ -2x }{ x} = -2\\\\\\$

I recommend making a table of values to see what's going on. Or you can graph the given function to see that it slowly approaches y = -2. Keep in mind that it won't actually reach y = -2 itself.

Pls solve ASAP!! Review the attachment and solve. Pls hurry!

Virty [35]

Answer:

A. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDEC is bigger than ΔABC by 5. For the hypotenuse, 25 is 5 times bigger than 5.

So, side DE on ΔDEC has to be 5 times bigger than side AB on ΔABC.

If side AB equals 3, side DE equals 18 - 3, which is 15.

15 is five times bigger than 3, so the answer is A. 3.

Hope that helps.
