\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.

An assembly line has two inspectors. The probability that the first inspector will miss a defective item is 0.06. If the defecti
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

probability that both passes a defective item is  0.8742‬

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

probability that the first inspector misses is Pr( 1st misses)= 0.06

therefore the probability he does not miss is

Pr(1st passes)= 1 - Pr( 1st misses) = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94

probability that the second misses is Pr( 2nd misses) = 0.07

therefore probability that 2nd does not miss is

Pr( 2nd passes) = 1- Pr( 2nd misses) = 0.93

probability that both passes a defective item is  Pr(1st passes)*Pr( 2nd passes)

= 0.93*0.94 = 0.8742‬

Given the piecewise function shown below, select all of the statments that are true.
timurjin [86]
The <span>given the piecewise function is :
</span>
f(x) = \[ \begin{cases} &#10;      2x & x \ \textless \  1 \\&#10;      5 & x=1 \\&#10;      x^2 & x\ \textgreater \ 1 &#10;   \end{cases}&#10;\]

To find f(5) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(5) = 5² = 25


To find f(2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(2) = 2² = 4

To find f(-2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → 2x
∴ f(-2) = 2 * (-2) = -4

To find f(1) ⇒ substitute with x = 1 in the function → 5
∴ f(1) = 5
================================
So, the statements which are true:<span>
\framebox {B. f(2) = 4} \ \framebox {D. f(1) = 5}</span><span></span>
