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
The answer is 10/1 ratio. Hope this helps!
Answer:
It cannot be further simplified
Step-by-step explanation:
11 is a prime number, so there are no numbers that can go into 14 and 11 (besides 1 and 1 would not simplify the problem)
