This is calculus using L'hospitals rule Lim x --> 0 (1+2x)^(-3/x)

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}

Eight rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other ro
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

9.11*10^-4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, you simply need to find the possible outcomes that allows no rooks to be in danger, and the possible amount of ways to place the rooks.

For the first outcome, you start by putting 1 rook in the first columns, you have 8 possible rows to do this. The next rook in the next column will only have 7 possible rows, as you have to exclude the one where the previous rook is located. The next rook, 6 possibilities, the next 5, and so on. So we conclude that the total amount of ways so that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks is 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 8! = 40320

In order to find the total amount of ways to place the rooks, you can just use a combinatoric:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}64\\8\end{array}\right]= \frac{64!}{8!(64-8)!} = 4.43*10^9

Then:

P = \frac{40320}{4.43*10^9}*100\%=9.11*10^{-4}\%

A cone that is sliced through the vertex would make the shape of a triangle.

You are told the h eight is 10 cm and the radius is 4 cm.

The radius would be half the base, so the base would be 4 * 2 =8 cm.

The area of the triangle is found by multiplying the base by the height, then dividing by two.

Area = 8 x 10 = 80

80 / 2 = 40 square centimeters.
