Answer:

7.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the percentage increase

mathematically, we have the formula for this as follows ;

(new value - old value/old value * 100%

from the question, old value is 8,300 ft and the new value is 8,881 ft

So we have the percentage increase as follows;

(8,881 - 8,300)/8,300 * 100%

= 7.0%

What is the value of the sin3x/6x; as x approaches to zero
nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0,

sin3x / 6x = 0 / 0, which is an indeterminate form.

Hence we use L'Hospital's rule:

d/dx (sin3x) = 3cos3x

d/dx (6x) = 6

Now we have 3cos3x / 6 or 0.5cos3x.

When x = 0, 0.5cos3x = 0.5(1) = 0.5.

Hence the limit is 0.5.

What is the root of the polynomial equation x(x-2)(x+3) = 18? Use a graphing calculator and a system of equations.
Trava [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be rewritten to make use of the graphing calculator's ability to identify function zeros:

  x(x -2)(x +3) -18 = 0

The attached shows x = 3 is the only real solution.

_____

We're not sure what "system of equations" is intended. Perhaps it is ...

  y = 18

  y = x(x -2)(x +3)

To create the expression we graphed, we effectively subtracted the first equation from the second.
