C

Using the distributive property, 1/2(b - 30) would end up being (1/2b) - ((1/2)30). 1/2 times 30 is 15. So 1/2b - 15.

\lim _{x\to 0}\left(\frac{2x\ln \left(1+3x\right)+\sin \left(x\right)\tan \left(3x\right)-2x^3}{1-\cos \left(3x\right)}\right)

Vinvika [58]

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\left(\frac{2x\ln \left(1+3x\right)+\sin \left(x\right)\tan \left(3x\right)-2x^3}{1-\cos \left(3x\right)}\right)$

Both the numerator and denominator approach 0, so this is a candidate for applying L'Hopital's rule. Doing so gives

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\left(2\ln(1+3x)+\dfrac{6x}{1+3x}+\cos(x)\tan(3x)+3\sin(x)\sec^2(x)-6x^2}{3\sin(3x)}\right)$

This again gives an indeterminate form 0/0, but no need to use L'Hopital's rule again just yet. Split up the limit as

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{2\ln(1+3x)}{3\sin(3x)} + \lim_{x\to0}\frac{6x}{3(1+3x)\sin(3x)} \\\\ + \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\cos(x)\tan(3x)}{3\sin(3x)} + \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3\sin(x)\sec^2(x)}{3\sin(3x)} \\\\ - \lim_{x\to0}\frac{6x^2}{3\sin(3x)}$

Now recall two well-known limits:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin(ax)}{ax}=1\text{ if }a\neq0 \\\\ \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\ln(1+ax)}{ax}=1\text{ if }a\neq0$

Compute each remaining limit:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{2\ln(1+3x)}{3\sin(3x)} = \frac23 \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\ln(1+3x)}{3x} \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} = \frac23$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{6x}{3(1+3x)\sin(3x)} = \frac23 \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{1}{1+3x} = \frac23$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\cos(x)\tan(3x)}{3\sin(3x)} = \frac13 \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\cos(x)}{\cos(3x)} = \frac13$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3\sin(x)\sec^2(x)}{3\sin(3x)} = \frac13 \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin(x)}x \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \times \lim_{x\to0}\sec^2(x) = \frac13$

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{6x^2}{3\sin(3x)} = \frac23 \times \lim_{x\to0}x \times \lim_{x\to0}\frac{3x}{\sin(3x)} \times \lim_{x\to0}x = 0$

So, the original limit has a value of

2/3 + 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 - 0 = 2

1.<br> What is the value of p – (–3.5) when p = 8.2?

viktelen [127]

Well set it up first. You get: 8.2-(-3.5) so what you do is that you first subtract 8.2-3.5=4.7. Then you want to find out weather it is negative or positive. First point out which one is bigger in this case 8.2 is bigger and a positive so your answer would be positive. Answer: +8.2 or 8.2

A rectangle has a length of 4 feet and a perimeter of 14 feet. What is the perimeter of a similar rectangle with a width of 9 fe

mina [271]

Answer:

Option C. $42\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal to the scale factor and the ratio of its perimeter is equal to the scale factor too

step 1

Find the width of the rectangle that has a length of 4 feet and a perimeter of 14 feet

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

$P=2(L+W)$
