Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given by:

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Therefore, the slope of the line that passes through these points is:

$m=\frac{-10-(-4)}{-12-(-20)}=\frac{-6}{8}=\fbox{$-\frac{3}{4}$}$ .

If lim x-> infinity ((x^2)/(x+1)-ax-b)=0 find the value of a and b

MAXImum [283]

We have

$\dfrac{x^2}{x+1}=\dfrac{(x+1)^2-2(x+1)+1}{x+1}=(x+1)-2+\dfrac1{x+1}=x-1+\dfrac1{x+1}$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-ax-b\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(x-1+\frac1{x+1}-ax-b\right)=0$

The rational term vanishes as x gets arbitrarily large, so we can ignore that term, leaving us with

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left((1-a)x-(1+b)\right)=0$

and this happens if a = 1 and b = -1.

To confirm, we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-x+1\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2-(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac1{x+1}=0$

as required.

Work out the angle of x please answer ASAP!!

geniusboy [140]

Given:

The figure of a pentagon.

To find:

The value of the x.

Solution:

We know that, the sum of all interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. So,

$(5x-25)+(6x+25)+(6x-3)+(9x)+(7x+15)=540$

$(5x+6x+6x+9x+7x)+(-25+25-3+15)=540$

$33x+12=540$

Subtract both sides by 12.

$33x+12-12=540-12$

$33x=528$

Divide both sides by 33.

$x=\dfrac{528}{33}$

$x=16$

Therefore, the value of the x is 16.
