Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6

Answer:

ln(5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired limit represents the logarithm of an indeterminate form, so L'Hopital's rule could be applied. However, the logarithm can be simplified to a form that is not indeterminate.

<h3>Limit</h3>

We can cancel factors of (x-1), which are what make the expression indeterminate at x=1. Then the limit can be evaluated directly by substituting x=1.

$\diplaystyle \lim\limits_{x\to1}{(\ln(x^5-1)-\ln(x^3-1))}=\lim\limits_{x\to1}\ln{\left(\dfrac{x^5-1}{x^3-1}\right)}\\\\=\lim\limits_{x\to1}\ln\left(\dfrac{x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1}{x^2+x+1}\right)=\ln{\dfrac{5}{3}}$
