DE : DF = 2 : 5

So, DE = 2 parts and DF = 5 parts

EF = DF - DE

    = 5 - 2

    = 3 parts

DE : EF = 2 : 3

Let D be (x, y).

Then, the point E divides the line segment DF internally in the ratio 2 : 3.

So, E is (\frac{2(-3)+3x}{2+3}, \frac{2(-4)+3y}{2+3} )

=(\frac{3x-6}{5}, \frac{3y-8}{5} )

But, it is given that E is (-3, 2).

Therefore,

\frac{3x-6}{5} = -3 and \frac{3y-8}{5}=2

3x - 6 = -15 and 3y - 8 = 10

3x = -9 and 3y = 18

x = -3 and y = 6

Hence, D is (-3, 6)

Find the limit of the function by using direct substitution. limit as x approaches one of quantity x squared plus three x minus
ivann1987 [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Limit = -1

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

We are given the following function:

x^2 + 3x -1

We are to calculate the limit of this function as x approaches zero.

For that, we will use direct substitution method and substitute the x with 0 in the given function to calculate its limit as follows:

x ^ 2 + 3 x - 1

( 0 ) ^ 2 + 3 ( 0 ) - 1 = - 1

Therefore, the limit is -1.
