<span> First, reduce the fraction to lowest terms, e.g. 8/6 = 4/3.

Look at the denominator. Split it into its prime factors. If its prime factors only consist of 2's and 5's, then it will be terminating.

Examples:
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, so terminating
25 = 5 x 5, so terminating
2000 = 2 x 1000 = 2 x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5), so terminating
12 = 2 x 3, so repeating (has prime factor 3, which is not 2 or 5)
13 = 13, so repeating (has prime factor 13, which is not 2 or 5) Hope this helps!!

The limit as x-approaches 3 of f(x) is x-3 over x squared -9

Luden [163]

notice that the denominator can be factored into (x-3)(x+3).

Now you can cross out (x - 3) from the numerator and denomiantor resulting in a simplified fraction of $\frac{1}{x+3}$

Plug the limit value (which is 3) into the simplified fraction.

Answer: $\frac{1}{6}$

Need help with this please

Your going to have to use the distance formula for these questions which is the square root of (x sub 2 - x sub 1) + (y sub 2 - y sub 1). For number 1 your coordinates are (-5,5) and (1,-2). Substituting these values into the formula your answer for number 1 is 9.2.

The single transformation from shape A to B is: dilate A by 1/2, followed by a 180 degrees rotation

<h3>How to determine the transformation?</h3>

From the figure, we have:

Shape A is twice the size of shape B
Both shapes can be rotated by 180 degrees in either direction to map onto the other, after dilation.

This means that:

The scale of dilation from shape A is:

k = 1/2

Hence, the single transformation from shape A to B is: dilate A by 1/2, followed by a 180 degrees rotation
