Complete question :

The cost of a student ticket to the school play is $7. Write an equation that correctly relates the total cost, c, for a particular number, s, of student tickets purchased. Identify the independent and dependent variable.

Answer:

Dependent variable = Total cost

Independent variable = number of students

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost equation is :

Total cost, c = cost per ticket * number of tickets

c = 7 * s

c = 7s

The Independent variable also called the predictor variable is the number of students in the scenario described above as it is the variable upon which the total cost relies. It dictates the value of the output or dependent variable. As we vary the value of the Independent variable, number of students, the total cost which is the dependent variable also varies. The dependent variable on the other hand is the predicted value or variable which is controlled by the independent variable. The dependent variable in this case is the total cost, c

To demonstrate a method for computing the limit itself, let's pick a small value of n. If n = 3, then our limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0 } \frac{1 - \prod \limits_{k = 2}^{3} \sqrt[k]{\cos(kx)} }{ {x}^{2} }$

Let a = 1 and b the cosine product, and write them as

$\dfrac{a - b}{x^2}$

with

$b = \sqrt{\cos(2x)} \sqrt[3]{\cos(3x)} = \sqrt[6]{\cos^3(2x)} \sqrt[6]{\cos^2(3x)} = \left(\cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x)\right)^{\frac16}$

Now we use the identity

$a^n-b^n = (a-b)\left(a^{n-1}+a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2+\cdots a^2b^{n-3}+ab^{n-2}+b^{n-1}\right)$

to rationalize the numerator. This gives

$\displaystyle \frac{a^6-b^6}{x^2 \left(a^5+a^4b+a^3b^2+a^2b^3+ab^4+b^5\right)}$

As x approaches 0, both a and b approach 1, so the polynomial in a and b in the denominator approaches 6, and our original limit reduces to

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{1-\cos^3(2x)\cos^2(3x)}{x^2}$

For the remaining limit, use the Taylor expansion for cos(x) :

$\cos(x) = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

where $\mathcal{O}(x^4)$ essentially means that all the other terms in the expansion grow as quickly as or faster than x⁴; in other words, the expansion behaves asymptotically like x⁴. As x approaches 0, all these terms go to 0 as well.

Then

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 2x^2\right)^3 \left(1 - \frac{9x^2}2\right)^2$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 6x^2 + 12x^4 - 8x^6\right) \left(1 - 9x^2 + \frac{81x^4}4\right)$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = 1 - 15x^2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

so in our limit, the constant terms cancel, and the asymptotic terms go to 0, and we end up with

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{15x^2}{x^2} = \frac{15}6 = \frac52$

Unfortunately, this doesn't agree with the limit we want, so n ≠ 3. But you can try applying this method for larger n, or computing a more general result.

Edit: some scratch work suggests the limit is 10 for n = 6.

How would I Graph y=1/2x+2

insens350 [35]

So basically, the 2 is the y- intercept which means that is where your line starts. The 1/2 is the slope which means you make a dot every time you go up 1 and over 2

What is1\7 the speed of a cheetah?

klio [65]

1/7 the speed of a cheetah is 10 mph because an average cheetah can run 70 miles per hour. This means time to do some division. Envision the denominator of 1/7 (7) as 70 and then the numerator (1) should be 10. Divide 70 by 7 should be 10. Hope this helps.
