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}

A truck is carrying pear juice, pineapple juice, and grapefruit juice bottles in a ratio of
sweet [91]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

We let N be such that

9N = number pear juice bottles,

1N = number of pineapple juice bottles,

2N = number of grapefruit juice bottles.

Then, 20 = 2N, so that N = 10, and

The total number of juice bottles =

9N+1N+2N =

9(10)+1(10)+2(10)=

90+10+20=120

Th the mean of the data is set 15 what number is missing<br> 18,16_,9,12,23
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The missing number on the given data set is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the set of data = 18,16_,9,12,23

Let us assume the missing number in the data = m

The mean of the data = 15

Total number of observations   = 6

Now, Sum of the data  = 18 + 16 + m + 9+ 12+ 23  = 78 + m

Also, \textrm{ Mean of the given Data}  = \frac{\textrm{Sum of all observation in the data}}{\textrm{Total number of observations}}

\implies 15 = \frac{78+ m}{6} \\or, 15(6) = 78 + m\\\implies m = 90 -78 = 12

or, m  = 12

Hence, the missing number on the given data set is 12.
