De l'Hospital rule applies to undetermined forms like

\dfrac{0}{0},\quad\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}

If we evaluate your limit directly, we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}(1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}} = 1^\infty

which is neither of the two forms covered by the theorem.

So, in order to apply it, we need to write the limit as follows: we start with

f(x)=(1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}}

Using the identity e^{\log(x)}=x, we can rewrite the function as

f(x)=e^{\log\left((1+2x)^{-\frac{3}{x}}\right)}

Using the rule \log(a^b)=b\log(a), we have

f(x)=e^{-\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x)}

Since the exponential function e^x is continuous, we have

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} e^{f(x)} = e^{\lim_{x\to 0} f(x)}

In other words, we can focus on the exponent alone to solve the limit. So, we're focusing on

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} -\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x)

Which we can rewrite as

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} -\frac{3}{x}\log(1+2x) = -3\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log(1+2x)}{x}

Now the limit comes in the form 0/0, so we can apply the theorem: we derive both numerator and denominator to get

\displaystyle -3\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log(1+2x)}{x} = -3 \lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{\frac{2}{1+2x}}{1} = -3\cdot 2 = -6

So, the limit of the exponent is -6, which implies that the whole expression tends to

e^{-6}=\dfrac{1}{e^6}

Solve each equation using inverse operations: 1. 9w = -54 2. b - 12 = 3 3. n/4 = -11
katovenus [111]

Hello!

Answer:

1. \boxed{W=-6}

*The answer must have A NEGATIVE SIGN ONLY!*

2. \boxed{B=15}

*The answer must have A POSITIVE SIGN ONLY!*

3. \boxed{N=-44}

*The answer must have a NEGATIVE SIGN ONLY!*

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9w=-54

First, you divide by 9 both sides of an equation.

9w/9=-54/9

Simplify.

-54/9=-6

<u><em>W=-6 is the final answer.</em></u>

____________________________________

2. b-12=3

First you add by 12 both sides of an equation.

b-12+12=3+12

Add by the numbers from left/right.

3+12=15

<u><em>b=15 is the final answer.</em></u>

__________________________________________

3. n/4=-11

First you multiply by 4 both sides of an equation.

4n/4=4(-11)

Multiply by the numbers from left/right.

4*-11=-44

<u><em>n=-44 is the final answer.</em></u>

Hope this helps you!

Have a great day! :)
