Answer:  12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Expand (2 + x)³, factor out the x, then replace x with zero.

(x+2)^3 = (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)\\.\qquad \quad =(x+2)(x^2+4x+4)\\.\qquad \quad =x(x^2+4x+4)+2(x^2+4x+4)\\.\qquad \quad =x^3+4x^2+4x\quad +2x^x+8x+8\\.\qquad \quad =x^3+(4x^2+2x^2)+(4x+8x)+8\\.\qquad \quad =x^3+6x^2+12x+8

\dfrac{(x+2)^3-8}{x}=\dfrac{(x^3+6x^2+12x+8)-8}{x}=\dfrac{x^3+6x^2+12x}{x}\\\\\\=\dfrac{x(x^2+6x+12)}{x}=x^2+6x+12\\\\\\ \lim_{x \to 0} \quad x^2+6x+12\quad =\quad 0+0+12\quad =\quad \large\boxed{12}

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion <br> if x-3=7 , then x=10
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The addition property of equality  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the addition property of equality, if we add the same number to each side of an equation, the equality is still true.

We are given the equation

x – 3 = 7, and we must solve for x.

We want to get x by itself, so we <em>add 3 to each side</em>.

x – 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

             x = 10

We have just used the addition property of equality.

How do i prove 2sec^2x-2sec^2xsin^2-sin^2x-cos^2x=1
kramer
2\sec^2x-2\sec^2x\sin^2x-\sin^2x-\cos^2x=2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)

Since \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1, you have

2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)=2\sec^2x\cos^2x-1

and since \sec x=\dfrac1{\cos x}, you end up with 2-1=1.
