x = - 1/3

y = 3x - 2

Problem solve for y

y = 3(-1/3) - 2

but 3 * (1/3) = 1

and 3 * (- 1/3) = - 1

So y = -1 - 2

y = - 3

Think of this as a money question. If you are one dollar in the whole and you spend 2 more, you are not 3 in the whole which is minus 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

I will not be able to fit in all the derivative work and will assume you can take derivatives with ease.

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

$\displaystyle \Delta (x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} \tan x & \tan (x + h) & \tan (x + 2h) \\ \tan (x + 2h) & \tan x & \tan (x + h) \\ \tan (x + h) & \tan (x + 2h) & \tan x \end{array} \right|$

$\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{3} \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{h^2}$

Step 2: Find Limit Pt. 1

[Function] Simplify [3x3 and 2x2 Matrix Determinant]:
$\displaystyle \Delta (x) = \tan^3 (2h + x) + \tan^3 (h + x) + \tan^3 x - 3 \tan x \tan (h + x) \tan (2h + x)$
[Function] Substitute in x:
$\displaystyle \Delta \bigg( \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) = \tan^3 \bigg( 2h+ \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + \tan^3 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 3\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{3} \tan \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \tan \bigg( 2h+ \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg)$

Step 3: Find Limit Pt. 2

[Limit] Rewrite [Limit Property - Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{3} \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{h^2} = \sqrt{3} \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{h^2}$
[Limit] Apply Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]:
$\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{3} \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{h^2} = \sqrt{3} \bigg( \frac{0}{0} \bigg)$

Since we have an indeterminant form, we will have to use L'Hopital's Rule. We can differentiate using basic differentiation techniques listed above under "Calculus":

$\displaystyle \frac{d \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{dh} = -3\sqrt{3} \bigg[ \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 1 \bigg] \tan \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 3 \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} + 3 \bigg] - 3\sqrt{3} \tan \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg] + \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 6 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 6 \bigg]$

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dh} h^2 = 2h$

Using L'Hopital's Rule, we can substitute the derivatives and evaluate again. When we do so, we should get another indeterminant form. We will need to use L'Hopital's Rule again:

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2 \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{dh^2} = \tan \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg] \bigg[ \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 1 \bigg] - 2\sqrt{3} \bigg[ \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 1 \bigg] \bigg[ \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 1 \bigg] - \sqrt{3} \bigg[ \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 1 \bigg] \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg]$

$\displaystyle + \tan^3 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg] - \sqrt{3} \tan \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \tan \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg] + \tan \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 2 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 2 \bigg] \bigg[ 4 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 4 \bigg]$

$\displaystyle - 2\sqrt{3} \tan \bigg( h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \tan \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 4 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 4 \bigg] + 2 \tan^3 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) \bigg[ 4 \tan^2 \bigg( 2h + \frac{\pi}{3} \bigg) + 4 \bigg]$

$\displaystyle \frac{d^2}{dh^2} h^2 = 2$

Substituting in the 2nd derivative found via L'Hopital's Rule should now give us a numerical value when evaluating the limit using limit rules and the unit circle:

$\displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{3} \Delta (\frac{\pi}{3})}{h^2} = \boxed{ 144 \sqrt{3} }$

∴ we have evaluated the given limit.

Two cars are driving to the same place.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The graph in the upper left

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer this question by elimination.

The answer can't be the two graphs on the right, because the two lines will never cross.

It can't be the graph at the lower left, because this shows both cyclists starting at Mile 0.

It must be the graph in the upper left. It shows one cyclist starting 45 mi ahead of the other, with the faster cyclist catching up after about 2.5 h.

Compute the permutation.

Anon25 [30]

So you have 8 digits (number available) to form 3 digit numbers (number selected).

Using the formula $^{a} P_{c}$ where a is the number of available digits, P is the permutation function and c is the number of digits to be selected.

The number of three digit numbers that can be formed = $^{8} P_{3}$
= 336

 O R

By using the formula $Permutation = \frac{a ! }{( a - c) !}$ where a is the number of available digits and c is the number of digits to be selected.

⇒ $Permutation = \frac{8 ! }{( 8 - 3) !}$

⇒ $Permutation = \frac{40, 320 }{120}$

⇒ Permutation = 336
