Find the following limit or state that it does not exist. ModifyingBelow lim With x right arrow minus 2 StartFraction 3 (2 x min

leva [86]

Answer:

-60

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective is to state whether or not the following limit exists

$\lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3(2x-1)^2 - 75}{x+2}$ .

First, we simplify the expression in the numerator of the fraction.

$3(2x-1)^2 -75 = 3(4x^2 - 4x +1) -75 = 12x^2 - 12x + 3 - 75 = 12x^2 - 12x -72$

Now, we obtain

$12(x^2-x-6) = 12(x+2)(x-3)$

and the fraction is transformed into

$\frac{3(2x-1)^2 - 75}{x+2} = \frac{12(x+2)(x-3)}{x+2} = 12 (x-3)$

Therefore, the following limit is

$\lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3(2x-1)^2 - 75}{x+2} = \lim_{x \to -2} 12(x-3) = 12 \lim_{x \to -2} (x-3)$

You can plug in $-2$ in the equation, hence

$12 \lim_{x \to -2} (x-3) = 12 (-2-3) = -60$

Please help! Thank you!

KIM [24]

The correct answer is: [B]: " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ; ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ; Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x

   y = -5 + 5x ; ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ; and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ;
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5) = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ; and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2 ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ; Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;

                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ; ↔
                              y - 10 = -5 ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation:

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ? Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is:
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .

The standard form of the equation for a quadratic function is, with he vertex of the graph of the function at the point (p,q). t

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)

Expand:

y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)

Distribute a to the first two terms:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂

Complete the square:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²

y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Therefore:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
