Answer:

The possible coordinates of point A are (-8,-4) or (-8,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by the formula

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}     }

For point A (x_{1} , y_{1}); x_{1}= -8 and y_{1} is unknown

For point B (x_{2} , y_{2}); (4,1) i.e x_{2}=4 and y_{2}=1

and d = 13

Putting the values into the equation,

13= \sqrt{[(4-(-8)]^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13= \sqrt{[(4+8)]^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13= \sqrt{12^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}     }\\13^{2} = 12^{2} + (1-y_{1})^{2}  \\169 = 144 +(1-y_{1})^{2}\\169-144 = (1-y_{1})^{2}\\25 = 1 -2y_{1} +y_{1}^{2} \\y_{1}^{2} -2y_{1}+1-25 =0\\y_{1}^{2} -2y_{1}-24 =0\\y_{1}^{2} -6y_{1} + 4y_{1} -24 =0 \\y_{1}(y_{1}-6) +4(y_{1} -6) = 0\\(y_{1}+4)(y_{1}-6) =0\\(y_{1}+4)=0 or (y_{1}-6) =0

y_{1}+4= 0 or y_{1}-6 =0

y_{1} =-4 or y_{1} = 6

Hence, the possible coordinates of point A are (-8,-4) or (-8,6)

What is Limit of StartFraction StartRoot x + 1 EndRoot minus 2 Over x minus 3 EndFraction as x approaches 3?
scoray [572]

Answer:

<u />\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} }

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Limits

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c

Special Limit Rule [L’Hopital’s Rule]:
\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}

Differentiation

  • Derivatives
  • Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

  1. f(x) = cxⁿ
  2. f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify given limit</em>.

\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3}

<u>Step 2: Find Limit</u>

Let's start out by <em>directly</em> evaluating the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3}
  2. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \frac{\sqrt{3 + 1} - 2}{3 - 3} \\& = \frac{0}{0} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}

When we do evaluate the limit directly, we end up with an indeterminant form. We can now use L' Hopital's Rule to simply the limit:

  1. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [L' Hopital's Rule]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\\end{aligned}
  2. [Limit] Differentiate [Derivative Rules and Properties]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  3. [Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \leftarrow \\\end{aligned}
  4. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle \begin{aligned}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{\sqrt{x + 1} - 2}{x - 3} & = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{(\sqrt{x + 1} - 2)'}{(x - 3)'} \\& = \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x + 1}} \\& = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3 + 1}} \\& = \boxed{ \frac{1}{4} } \\\end{aligned}

∴ we have <em>evaluated</em> the given limit.

Rafael ha comprado 185,8 kg. de manzanas y 300,2 kg. de naranjas. ¿Cuánto más pesan las naranjas que las manzanas? ¿Cuánto pesa
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

a.114.4kg

b. 486kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly , we want to know the value with which the apples weigh more than the oranges

To calculate this, we simply subtract the weight of the oranges from that of the apple

Mathematically, that would be ;

300.2-185.8 = 114.4kg

The total weight of the things bought is calculated by adding both weights together

That would be 185.8 + 300.2 = 486 kg
