The limit does not exist. Why? Because the left hand limit DOES NOT equal the right hand limit. Let’s double check:
We could use -0.000001 to represent the left hand limit. This is less than 0. We plug in 5x - 8
5(-0.000001) - 8
-0.000005 - 8
-8.000005
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
-8
That is our left hand limit.
Our right hand limit will be represented by 0.000001. This is greater than 0. We plug in abs(-4 - x)
abs(-4 - (0.000001))
abs(-4.000001)
4.000001
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
4
4 does not equal -8, therefore
The limit does not exist
-3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + (-3) (6 - 4b)
First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) + -3 (6 - 4b)
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3 (x - 5) - 8 (y + 2) - 3 (b - 4b)
Third, expand your problem. / Your problem should look like: -3x + 15 - 8y - 16 - 18 + 12b
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19
Answer: -3x - 8y + 12b - 19 (D)
2(x+-9)
2(x-9)
Distribute
2x-18 is the simplified expression
