-1/9+-5/9=

When you are adding a negative number, the operation turns into subtraction:

-1/9-5/9= $\frac{-1-5}{9}$ $=-\frac{6}{9}=-\frac{2}{3}$

Really, it's just subtraction. The simplest form is -2/3, which is equal to -0.66667.

I hope this helps :)

Jackson drinks 0.44 liters of water, which was 55% of the water in the bottle. How much water was in the bottle to start?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

He had 0.8 liters to start with...

Step-by-step explanation:

0.44 is 55% of what? (what = x)

Equation: Y = P% * X

X = Y/P%

X = 0.44/55%

55% = 0.55

X = 0.44/0.55

X = 0.8

Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and $\varepsilon>0$ , we want to find a $\delta$ such that $|f(x)-14|$

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that $|x-5|$ . Then

$|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta$ .

Then, if $|x-5|$ , then $|f(x)-14|$ . So, in this case, if $3\delta \leq \varepsilon$ we get that $|f(x)-14|$ . The maximum value of delta is $\frac{\varepsilon}{3}$ .

By definition, this procedure proves that $\lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14$ . Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.
