p(x)=2x^6+123.5x^4+389x^2−25x^5−304.75x^3−237.25x+53.5

put in decreasing order

p(x)=2x^6−25x^5+123.5x^4−304.75x^3+389x^2−237.25x+53.5.

the leading coefficient is the number in front of the largest exponent

leading coefficient:2

degree is the power on the largest exponent

degree:6

Find the indicated limit, if it exists. (2 points) limit of f of x as x approaches 5 where f of x equals 5 minus x when x is les

Tamiku [17]

It looks like we have

$f(x)=\begin{cases}5-x&\text{for }x5\end{cases}$

and we want to find $\lim\limits_{x\to5}f(x)$ .

Since $x$ is approaching 5, we don't care about the value of $f(x)$ when $x=5$ .

We do care about how $f(x)$ behaves to either side of $x=5$ . If $x\to5$ from below, then $f(x)=5-x$ , so that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to5}(5-x)=5-5=0$

On the other hand, if $x\to5$ from above, then $f(x)=x+3$ , so that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to5}(x+3)=5+3=8$

The one-sided limits do not match, since 0 ≠ 8, so the limit does not exist.

$\left(\dfrac 14 x -7 \right) - \left(\dfrac 34 x - 5 \right)\\\\\\=\dfrac 14 x -7 - \dfrac 34 x +5\\\\\\=x\left(\dfrac 14 - \dfrac 34 \right) -2\\\\\\=- x\left(\dfrac 24 \right) -2\\\\\\=-\dfrac 12 x -2$

I assume you are being asked to solve these equations. Since there wasn't an explanation as to how you are expected to solve them, I chose to demonstrate how to use a calculator matrix function. You can find matrix calculators online. My instructions are for a TI-84
Push the blue 2nd button then push x^-1 button (it says matrix above this button in blue)
Arrow over to edit to change the dimensions of the matrix and to put in your values. You have 3 equations (3 rows) and 4 terms (4 columns) so you put a 3x4 in for the dimension and the coefficients (see images).
You use the rref option in the math column in matrix to calculate the answer.
The numbers at the end are the solutions. x = -4, y = 2, z = -1
