\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{(9+h)^4-9^4}h

Carry out the binomial expansion in the numerator:

(9+h)^4 = 9^4+4\times9^3h+6\times9^2h^2+4\times9h^3+h^4

Then the 9⁴ terms cancel each other, so in the limit we have

\displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}\frac{4\times9^3h+6\times9^2h^2+4\times9h^3+h^4}h

Since <em>h</em> is approaching 0, that means <em>h</em> ≠ 0, so we can cancel the common factor of <em>h</em> in both numerator and denominator:

\displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}(4\times9^3+6\times9^2h+4\times9h^2+h^3)

Then when <em>h</em> converges to 0, each remaining term containing <em>h</em> goes to 0, leaving you with

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h = 4\times9^3 = \boxed{2916}

or choice C.

Alternatively, you can recognize the given limit as the derivative of <em>f(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 9:

f'(x) = \displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h \implies f'(9) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(9+h)-f(9)}h

We have <em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ⁴, so <em>f '(x)</em> = 4<em>x</em> ³, and evaluating this at <em>x</em> = 9 gives the same result, 2916.

Y is directly related to X, and Yis 81 when X is 27.<br> The constant of variation is
Arisa [49]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is of the form

y = kx

We know x and y so we can find k

81 = k *27

Divide each side by 27

81/27 = 27k/27

3=k

The constant of variation is 3

Simplify ^3_/125x^21y^33
Grace [21]

\sqrt[3]{125x^{21}y^{33}}=\sqrt[3]{125}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x^{21}}\cdot\sqrt[3]{y^{33}}=\sqrt[3]{5^3}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(x^7)^3}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(y^{11})^3}\\\\=\boxed{5x^7y^{11}}\\\\Used:\\\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a\\\\(a^n)^m=a^{nm}

One root of f(x) = x + 10x2 – 25x – 250 is x = -10. What are all the roots of the function? Use the Remainder Theorem.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10

-5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the answers given, you probably mean f(x) = x^3 + 10x2 – 25x – 250

The Remainder Theorem is going to take a bit to solve.

You have to try the factors of 250. One way to make your life a lot easier is to graph the equation. That will give you the roots.

The graph appears below. Since the y intercept is -250 the graph goes down quite a bit and if you show the y intercept then it will not be easy to see the roots.

However just to get the roots, the graph shows that

x = -10

x = - 5

x = 5

The last answer is the right one. To use the remainder theorem, you could show none of the answers will give 0s except the last one. For example, the second one will give

f((10) = 10^3 + 10*10^2 - 25*10 - 250

f(10) = 1000 + 1000 - 250 - 250

f(10) = 2000 - 500

f(10) = 1500 which is  not 0.

==================

f(1) = (1)^3 + 10*(1)^2 - 25(1) - 250

f(1) = 1 + 10 - 25 - 250

f(1) = -264 which again is not zero

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: Slope-intercept is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you find the difference between the y values divided by the difference between the x values. -5-(-9) = 4, and 3-1 is 2. 4/2 is 2, so m = 2. Since the slope is 2, it states for every x you move on the right you move 2 up. But we are trying to get the y-intercept, so x = 0. We are subtracting 1 in our x value, so we move 2 downwards. We subtract 2 from -9 which gives us -11, which is our y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
