The price of one pound of banana = b

As one pound of oranges costs $0.75 more than one pound of bananas, so, the price of one pound of orange = b+0.75.

The price of 3 pounds of banana = 3b,

and the price of 2 pounds of oranges = 2(b+0.75).

Now, as she pays $4.50 for 3 pounds of bananas and 2 pounds of oranges.

So, for this situation the required equation is

3b + 2(b+0.75) =4.5

On solving this equation, we have

\Rightarrow 3b+2b+2\times0.75=4.5

\Rightarrow 5b +1.5=4.5

\Rightarrow 5b =4.5-1.5=3

\Rightarrow b =\frac 3 5=0.6

Hence, the price of one pound of banana = $ 0.60

and the price of one pound of orange

=b+0.75= 0.60+0.75=$1.35.

What does the remainder theorem conclude given that f(x)/x+6 has a remainder of 14? Enter your answer by filling in the boxes.​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

f(-6)=14

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the remainder theorem, if a function f(x) is divided by (x-a), then the remainder is defined by f(a).

It is given that \dfrac{f(x)}{x+6} has a remainder of 14.

Here, the function f(x) is divided by (x+6). So, on comparing (x+6) and (x-a), we get

a=-6

So, by remainder theorem, remainder of \dfrac{f(x)}{x+6} is f(-6).

Since the remainder is 14, therefore

f(-6)=14

Therefore, the answer for first blank is -6 and for second blank is 14, i.e., f(-6)=14.

Find the limit of the function algebraically. (2 points) limit as x approaches zero of quantity x squared plus two x divided by
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

DNE

Step-by-step explanation:

\lim_{x \to \0} \frac{x^{2} +2x}{x^{4} }

As you can see in the picture I attached to this, that as the limit goes to zero from the negative side, it approaches -∞ and from the positive side, it approaches ∞ . hence, the limit doesn't exist.

To show this algebraically, you have to imagine how a number divided by zero looks like, Just know the graph of 1/x and see how the limit to zero doesnot exist. I hope this helps!

Solve for x. x/2.4=3/8
Bumek [7]
 Convert 3/8 to its decimal equivalent:  0.375.

Then 

  x
------ = 0.375
 2.4

Mult. both sides by 2.4:  x = 8.99999, which should be rounded off to 9.0.
