Answer:

x=5 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4= $\frac{9}{4}$ ---> $\frac{9}{4}$ divided by 3 to find 1/7x----> $\frac{3}{4}$ =1/7x---> x=21/4---> x=5 1/4

Answer:

The number is 5¹/₄

Step-by-step explanation:

3/7 of it is 2 ¹/₄

let the it be represented as A

3/ 7 of A = 2 ¹/₄

3A/7 = 4X2+1/4 = 9/4

3A/7= 9/4

cross multiply

3A X4 = 9x7

12A = 63

A = 63/12 = 21/4= 5¹/₄

The number is 5¹/₄

Evaluate the following limit, if it exists : limx→0 (12xe^x−12x) / (cos(5x)−1)

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{12xe^x-12x}{cos(5x)-1}=-\frac{24}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{12xe^x-12x}{cos(5x)-1}=\frac{12(0)e^{0}-12(0)}{cos(5(0))-1}=\frac{0}{0}$ , which is in indeterminate form, so we must use L'Hôpital's rule which states that $\lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$ . Basically, we keep differentiating the numerator and denominator until we can plug the limit in without having any discontinuities:
