Find Lim f(x) as x->0

for

f(x)=5x-8 ......x<0

f(x)=|-4-x|......x &ge; 0


Clearly

f(0)=|-4-0|=|-4|=4 exists.

The left-hand limit, as x-> 0- is f(0-)=5(0)-8=-8

The right hand limit, as x->0+ is f(0+)=|-4-0|=|-4|=4


Since the left and right limits do not both equal f(0), the limit does not exist.

Answer:

The limit does not exists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 5x - 8 ;  x < 0

f(x) = l -4 -x l ; x ≥ 0

Now we have to find the limit when x approaches to 0.

Condition:

If the left hand limit is equal to the right hand limit, then only the limit exists.

Now let's find the left hand limit.

lim         5x - 8

x ---> 0

Now let's apply the limit x = 0, we get

5(0) - 8 = -8

The left hand limit is -8

Now let's find the right hand limit.

lim           l -4 - x l

x ----> 0

Now plug in x = 0 in the above absolute function, we get

l -4 - 0 l = l -4 l = 4 [Absolute value of a negative number is positive]

The right hand limit is 4.

Here we can see that the left hand limit does not equal to the right hand limit.

Therefore, the limit does not exists.

Ishaan is 222 times as old as Christopher. 353535 years ago, Ishaan was 777 times as old as Christopher.
klemol [59]
<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

<h3>x = 42</h3>

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

a) A battalion of soldiers wanted to have a parade forming a square design with 1,536 soldiers. Is it possible ? If not how many
Dmitrij [34]
A square with 1,536 soldiers are not possible, i.e. the square root of 1,536 is about 39.191, which means that 1,536 is not a square a number. In order for it to be a square number, we have to round up 39.191 (because it says "how many more soldiers") to 40 and 40×40=1,600 and 1,600-1,536, so we need 64 more soldiers.

The greatest 4 digit number is simple. If the square root of 10,000 is 100, than, one can assume that because 100-1=99, the resulting answer of 99×99 is less than 10,000, meaning that is is 4 digits. 99×99=9,801.
