Answer: 685 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets set up a proportion:

x/1096 = 5/8

(For every 8 marbles, 5 of them are red)

Then we cross multiply

5480 = 8x

and divide!

so 685 marbles

Evaluate the limit, if it exists. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) lim h→0 (5 + h)−1 − 5−1 h
34kurt
\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(5+h)^{-1}-5^{-1}}h=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac5{5(5+h)}-\frac{5+h}{5(5+h)}}h
\displaystyle=-\lim_{h\to0}\frac h{5(5+h)h}
\displaystyle=-\lim_{h\to0}\frac1{5(5+h)}=-\frac1{25}

Alternatively, recall that if f(x)=\dfrac1x, then f'(x)=-\dfrac1{x^2}, and so

f'(5)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5}\frac{\frac1x-\frac15}{x-5}

Take h=x-5, so that x=h+5, and we have the original limit. So the limit is equivalent to the value of f'(5), i.e.

f'(5)=-\dfrac1{5^2}=-\dfrac1{25}
