\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.

4(9-x)6-6(4-7x)&gt;5(1-2x)-8x+9(6-x)
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

x > 133/45

WORKING :

Multiply the number : 4 . 6 = 24

24(9-x) - 6 (4 - 7x) > 5 (1 - 2x) - 8x + 9 (6-x)

expand 24(9 - x) - 6(4 -7x) : 18x + 192

expand 5(1-2x) - 8x + 9(6-x) : - 27x + 59

18x + 192 > -27x + 59

subtract 192 from both sides

18x + 192 - 192 > -27x + 59 - 192

simplify

18x > -27x - 133

add 27x to both sides

18x + 27x > - 27x - 133 + 27x

simplify

45x > - 133

Divide both sides by 45

45x/45 > 133/45

Simplify

x > 133/45

FINALLY ANSWER :

X > 133/45
