Let f (x) = 3x − 1 and ε > 0. Find a δ > 0 such that 0 < ∣x − 5∣ < δ implies ∣f (x) − 14∣ < ε. (Find the largest

such δ.) What limit does this prove?

Answer:

This proves that f is continous at x=5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking f(x) = 3x-1 and \varepsilon>0, we want to find a \delta such that |f(x)-14|

At first, we will assume that this delta exists and we will try to figure out its value.

Suppose that |x-5|. Then

|f(x)-14| = |3x-1-14| = |3x-15|=|3(x-5)| = 3|x-5|< 3\delta.

Then, if |x-5|, then |f(x)-14|. So, in this case, if 3\delta \leq \varepsilon we get that |f(x)-14|. The maximum value of delta is \frac{\varepsilon}{3}.

By definition, this procedure proves that \lim_{x\to 5}f(x) = 14. Note that f(5)=14, so this proves that f is continous at x=5.

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the time since Martha has left work and the distance she is from home.
telo118 [61]
The correct answer is A.

The independent variable is time and the dependent variable is distance; this means the slope tells us how far she goes per minute.  Since the slope is negative and we are referring to her distance from her house, this means the distance from her house is decreasing, which means she is getting closer to her house.

You jog 2 kilometers in 12 minutes. Your friend jogs 3 kilometers in 16.5 minutes. Who jogs faster? You jog faster. Your friend
Darya [45]

Answer:

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance(km)/Time(hours)

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr

Your speed is :

You jog 2 kilometers in 12 minutes.

Convert 12 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

12 minutes = x

x = 12/60

x = 1/5 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

2km/1/5hour

= 2 km ÷ 1/5 hour

= 2 × 5

= 10 km/hr

Your friend's speed is calculated as:

Your friend jogs 3 kilometers in 16.5 minutes.

Convert 16.5 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

16.5 minutes = x

x = 16.5/60

x = 0.275 hour

Your speed is calculated as:

3km/0.275 hour

= 10.909090909 km/hr

Approximately = 10.91km/hr

a) Who jogs faster?

Your friend jogs faster because he jogs with a speed of 10.91 km/hr

Question 2 How much sooner will the faster jogger finish a five-kilometer race?

Your friend jogs faster, hence:

3 km = 10.91 km/hr

5km = x

x = 5 × 10.91/3

x = 18.183333333 km/hr

Your friend's will finish a 5km race at a speed of 18.18 km/hr

Predict if the product will be greater than, less than or equal to the second factor 4/5 x 1 2/5 = y
Radda [10]

Answer:

The product will be less than the second factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{4}{5}\:\times \:1\frac{2}{5}\:=y

solving to determine the product value

y=\:\frac{4}{5}\times \:\:1\frac{2}{5}

  =\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{7}{5}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\times \:c}{b\:\times \:d}

  =\frac{4\times \:7}{5\times \:5}

  =\frac{28}{5\times \:5}

  =\frac{28}{25}

As the value of the second factor is:

1\frac{2}{5}=\frac{7}{5}=1.4

And the product value is:

y=\frac{28}{25}=1.12

It is clear that the product value 'y = 1.12' is lesser than the second factor value '1.4'.

i.e. 1.12 < 1.4

Thus, the product will be less than the second factor.
