Can anyone tell me why by direct substitution of x, the equation (circled ones) equals to the indeterminate form, 0/0? When you

can do x²-k=6 something like that​

Answer:

See explanation and hopefully it answers your question.

Basically because the expression has a hole at x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h(x)=( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )

This function, h, has a hole in the curve at hx-15=0 if it also makes the numerator 0 for the same x value.

Solving for x in that equation:

Adding 15 on both sides:

hx=15

Dividing both sides by h:

x=15/h

For it be a hole, you also must have the numerator is zero at x=15/h.

x^2-k=0 at x=15/h gives:

(15/h)^2-k=0

225/h^2-k=0

k=225/h^2

So if we wanted to evaluate the following limit:

Lim x->15/h ( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )

Or

Lim x->15/h ( x^2-(225/h^2) ) / ( hx-15 ) you couldn't use direct substitution because of the hole at x=15/h.

We were ask to evaluate

Lim x->3 ( x^2-k ) / ( hx-15 )

Comparing the two limits h=5 and k=225/h^2=225/25=9.

39 ft/min is how many yd/s
Arlecino [84]
0.0181 yd/s. To solve this problem you use dimensional analysis. You convert the feet and minutes to yards and seconds by using this process. The units of feet and minutes cancel out, so you are left with yards per second. You should get 0.0180555555 when you multiply and divide everything, but you can just round it to 0.0181 or whatever place your teacher wants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets get a common denominator

2/3 *2/2 = 4/6

1/2 * 3/3 = 3/6

4/6 > 3/6

2/3 > 1/2
