<h3>Answer:</h3>

$200

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let p represent the price last year. Then the price this year is ...

... (price this year) = p + 15%×p

... = p + 15/100×p = 1.15p

The price after the employee discount is ...

... (price this year) - 25%×(price this year)

... = (price this year)×(1 - 25/100) = 0.75×(price this year)

Then the price paid is ...

... $172.50 = 0.75×(1.15p) = 0.8625p

Dividing by the coefficient of p, we have

... $172.50/0.8625 = p = $200

The price last year was $200.

QUESTION 1  

If a function is continuous at x=a, then \lim_{x \to a}f(x)=f(a)  

Let us find the limit first,  

\lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x-4}{x+5}  

As x \rightarrow 4, x-4 \rightarrow 0,x+5 \rightarrow 9 and f(x) \rightarrow \frac{0}{9}=0  

\therefore \lim_{x \to 4} \frac{x-4}{x+5}=0  

Let us now find the functional value at x=4  

f(4)=\frac{4-4}{4+5} =\frac{0}{9}=0  

Since  

\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)=\frac{x-4}{x+5}=f(4), the function is continuous at a=4.  

QUESTION 2  

The correct answer is table 2. See attachment.


In this table the values of x approaches zero from both sides.


This can help us determine if the one sided limits are approaching the same value.

As we are getting closer and closer to zero from both sides, the function is approaching 2.


The values are also very close to zero unlike those in table 4.


The correct answer is B


QUESTION 3


We want to evaluate;


\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{x^3+5x^2+3x-9}{x-1}


using the properties of limits.


A direct evaluation gives \frac{1^3+5(1)^2+3(1)-9}{1-1}=\frac{0}{0}.


This indeterminate form suggests that, we simplify the function first.


We factor to obtain,


\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{(x-1)(x+3)^2}{x-1}


We cancel common factors to get,


\lim_{x \to 1} (x+3)^2


=(1+3)^2=16


The correct answer is D



QUESTION 4

We can see from the table that as x approaches -2 from both sides, the function approaches -4


Hence the limit is -4.


See attachment


The correct answer is option A

Solve 3/4x+5=-9 please
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

exact form: x=-56/3

mixed number form: -18 2/3

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
