<em>Question</em>

  • <em>Lisa lit a candle with a height of 8 inches. When lit, this candle loses 10% of its original  height every hour. </em>
  • <em>Please complete the following sentence by writing the number in the blank.   Until the candle has been burning for at least _______ hours, the height of Jennifer's candle will be more than 7 inches.</em>

<u>Candle looses 10% of 8 inches, it equals:</u>

  • 8*0.1 = 0.8 inches an hour

<u>Let x be required time, then:</u>

  • 8 - 0.8x > 7
  • 0.8x <  8 - 7
  • 0.8x  < 1
  • x  < 1/0.8
  • x  <  1.25
  • or 1 hour 15 minutes

Add the two expressions.<br><br> −4x+3 and 2x−6<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
First, you set your problem up like this: 

-4x+3=2x-6

add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:

-4x+9=2x

add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:

9=6x

divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:

1.5=x

Find the limit of the function algebraically. limit as x approaches negative nine of quantity x squared minus eighty one divided
scoray [572]
Let me express the equation clearly:

lim x→-9  (x²-81)/(x+9)

Initially, we solve this by substituting x=-9 to the equation. 

((-9)²-81)/(-9+9) = 0/0

The term 0/0 is undefined. This means that the solution is not see on the number line because it is imaginary. Other undefined terms are N/0 (where N is any number), 0⁰, 0×∞, ∞-∞, 1^∞ and ∞/∞. One way to solve this is by applying L'Hopitals Rule. This can be done by differentiating the numerator and denominator of the fraction independently. Then, you can already substitute the x=-9.

(2x-0)/(1+0) = 2x = 2(-9) = -18

The other easy way is to substitute x=-8.999 to the original equation. Note that the term x→-9 means that x only approaches to -9. Thus, you substitute a number that is very close to -9. Substituting x=-8.999

((-8.999)²-81)/(-8.999+9) = -18
