The concept of greatest common factor is used to solve this question. Then, we use it to find the number of crackers and slices of cheese, and the answer is:

  • The greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.
  • Each plate will have 3 crackers.
  • Each plate will have 2 slices of cheese.

--------------------------------

To find the greatest number of plates, you need to find the greatest common factor between 12 and 18.

Thus, factoring them, always by the same number:

12 - 18|2

6 - 9|3

2 - 3

The greatest common factor is 2x3 = 6, which means that the greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.

--------------------------------

18 crackers, so each plate has 18/6 = 3 crackers.

12 slices of cheese, so each plate has 12/6 = 2 slices of cheese.

Find lim x->2 for f(x)=
TiliK225 [7]

LHL in not equal to RHL , Therefore the limit does not exists , Option D is the answer.(none)

<h3>What is the limit of a function ?</h3>

The limit of a function at a certain point is the value that the function approaches as the argument of the function approaches the same point.

It is given that

lim x->2 for f(x)

\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-}f(x) = \lim_{x\rightarrow 2^+}f(x)

f(x) = 2x+1 x ≤2

f(x)= x² , x >2

When both the function tends to 2

Left Hand Limit

f(x) = 2 *2 +1

f(x) = 5

Right Hand Limit

f(x) = x² ,

f(x) = 4

LHL in not equal to RHL , Therefore the limit does not exists.
