Answer:
-1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
lim x approaches -6 (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)
Rationalize
(sqrt( 10-x) -4) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
------------------- * -------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2
a= ( sqrt(10-x) b = 4
(10-x) -16
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-6-x
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Factor out -1 from the numerator
-1( x+6)
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator
-1
-------------------
(sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Now take the limit
lim x approaches -6 -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)
-1/ (sqrt(16) +4)
-1 /( 4+4)
-1/8
Answer:
a=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3a+2)+6=30
9a+6+6=30
9a+12=30
9a=18
a=2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1000 gallons - 940 = 60 then divide by the time which gets us 60/10=6
Now we can use this answer to help find out the amount remaining in the tank.
5 minutes = 5x6=30; 1000-30= 970 gallons
20 minutes= 20x6=120; 1000-120= 880 gallons
30 minutes=30x6=180; 1000-180= 820 gallons
27 minutes=27x6=162; 1000-162= 838 gallons
X minutes = 1000-6x
Rate of flow is 6 gallons per minute.
Hope this helps!
The phrase has two parts:
Five times the sum of a number and eleven, divided by
three times the sum of the number and eight
Let the number be x. Five times the sum of a number and eleven means 5 multiplied to the sum of x and 11. In expression this will be written as:
5(x + 11)Three times the sum of the number and eight means 3 multiplied to the sum of x and 8. In expression this will be written as:
3(x + 8)So, the overall expression will be:
3%?? The question doesn't make much sense.
