Answer:

Option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the piecewise function represents the Social Security taxes for 2009.

$Tax=\begin{cases}0.062x & \text{ when } 0< x < 106,800 \\ \$6,621.60 & \text{ when } x > 106,800 \end{cases}$

We need to find Rachel's security tax if she earned $102,000 in 2009.

Since 102,000 lies in $0$ , therefore

$Tax=0.062x$

Put x=102000.

$Tax=0.062(102000)$

$Tax=6324$

So, the Social Security tax is $6324.

Therefore, the correct option is c.

Lim x-0 3x²/(1-cos5x)

mylen [45]

The limit is presented in the following undefined form:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{3x^2}{1-\cos(5x)} \to \dfrac{3\cdot 0^2}{1-\cos(5\cdot 0)} = \dfrac{0}{0}$

In cases like this, we can use de l'Hospital rule, which states that this limit, if it exists, is the same as the limit of the derivatives of numerator and denominator.

So, we switch

$\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}\to\dfrac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$

The derivative of the numerator is

$\dfrac{d}{dx} 3x^2 = 6x$

Whereas the derivative of the denominator is

$\dfrac{d}{dx} (1-\cos(5x)) = 5\sin(5x)$

So, the new limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\dfrac{6x}{5\sin(5x)} \to \dfrac{6\cdot 0}{5\cdot 0} = \dfrac{0}{0}$

So, it would seem that we didn't solve anything, but indeed we have! Recall the limit

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} \dfrac{ax}{\sin(bx)} = \dfrac{a}{b}$

to conclude that the limit converges to \dfrac{6}{25} [/tex]

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$t(g)=-4g+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g be the number of games James plays and t be the number of tokens James has.

We will write our function's formula in slope-intercept form of equation.

$y=mx+b$ , where,

m = Slope of line,

b = y-intercept.

We have been given that initially James has 20 tokens. This means that before playing the games James has 20 tokens or at g equals 0 t equals 20. So our y-intercept will be 20.

We are also told that after playing the game 3 times, he has 8 tokens remaining.

Let us find the slope of line using points (3,8) and (0,20).

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , where,
