Answer:
(2 x)/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3
Put each term in (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 = (12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15:
(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15
(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15 = (12 x - 10 x)/15:
(12 x - 10 x)/15
12 x - 10 x = 2 x:
Answer: (2 x)/15
Answer:
0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so it's asking for what (1/(x-1) - 2/(x^2-1)) approaches as x approaches 1. Before we deal with the limit, let's simplify the inside.
We want to combine the two fractions into one fraction. Therefore, we need a common denominator.
1/(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/((x+1)(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/(x^2-1).
the inside expression is therefore (x+1)/(x^2-1) - 2/(x^2-1)
which simplifies to (x-1)/(x^2-1).
and that simplifies further to 1/(x+1).
Now this is a continuous function when x = 1, so to find the limit as x approaches 1 of this function, we can by definition just plug 1 in.
limx->1 (1/(x+1)) = 1/2.
The reason why we didn't just plug 1 in at the beginning is because the function wasn't continuous when x was 1.
Answer:
m = -1/6.
b = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope m = (3 - 6) / (12 - -6)
= -3 / 18
= -1/6.
y = -1/6 x + b
when x = 12 y = 3 so
3 = -1/6 * 12 + b
b = 3 + 2 = 5.
