Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
-1/16
Discussion:
Rewrite
((1/4 + 1/x)/(4+x)) as
(1/4 + 1/x) * (1/(4+x)) = => put num. over common denom,
( (x+4)/4x) * (1/(4+x)) = => cancel (x+4) from num. and denom.
(1/4x)
So as x ->-4, (1/4x) approaches ( 1/ ( 4 * (-4) ) ) = -1/16
Thank you,
MrB
The exact form is x= -3/14

Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.
In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.
The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.
Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.
Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(l+b)
= 2 (65+42)
= 2*107
