Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In choices a and b, the bases are positive numbers greater than 1, and so these are growth functions. In c and d, the bases are between 0 and 1, and thus these are decay functions.
In the second problem we have 3ln(x + 1). Rewrite this as ln(x + 1)^3.
We also have 9ln(x - 4). Rewrite this as ln(x - 4)^9.
Because of the + sign connecting ln(x + 1)^3 and ln(x - 4)^9, these two logs combine to form
ln [ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9 (the log of a product).
Now we have:
ln [ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9 - 4ln(x + 7), or:
[ (x + 1)^3 ] * (x - 4)^9
ln ------------------------------------
(x + 7)^9
Answer:
As we get closer to x=-3, the limit is approaches -1, on both sides of -3 so this is a good limit so c is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for a limit to exists, the left side limit must exist and right side limit must exist and on top of that, they must be equal to each other.
In this case, this a piece wise function and by definition of a limit that exist, the limit of this piece wise function as x approaches 3 from either side, must be equal.
We let x=-3 for the top equation.

So we set the second equation equal to -1.




So the value of c is 8. We can prove this by graphing as well.

Step-by-step explanation:
You only need two points to find the slope.
Let's use (1,7) and (2,8).
The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Let's plug the values in:
(8-7)/(2-1) = 1.
So, the slope is 1.
