Answer:

q = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the equation is given by,

1/2 - 1/8q=q-1/4

Rearranging the terms in the given equation and bringing the similar terms to the same side of the equation,

- 1/8q -q = -1/4 - 1/2

Adding the terms in the equation of both left and right hand side of equation:

-((1+8)/8) × q = -(1+2)/4

-(9/8) × q = -3/4

Dividing the both sides of the equation by 3/4

-3/2q = -1

Multiplying the both sides of the equation by -2/3

Therefore, q=2/3

G evaluate lim h → 0 (1 + h)9 − 1 h . hint: this limit represents the derivative of a function f at a given point

Bond [772]

$\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(1+h)^9-1}h$

Write $1=1^9$ , and recall that for a differentiable function $f(x)$ , the derivative at a point $x=a$ is given by

$f'(a)=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}h$

which would suggest that for this limit, $f(x)=x^9$ and $a=1$ . We have $f'(x)=9x^8$ , and so the value of the limit would be $9(1)^8=9$ .
