The answer as a decimal is -42.6
Answer:
I believe it's the first option, but if not ion know
I'm going to assume that you meant the following:
(x-1)
---------------
x^2-3x+2
Factoring the denominator, we get:
(x-1)
------------
(x-1)(x-2)
Notice that we have x-1 in both the numerator and the denominator. This factor cancels. HOWEVER: x can still not equal 1, which would lead to div. by zero. With the factor x-1 cancelled, we have 1 / (x-2). As x approaches 1 from either side, y approaches 1 / (1-2), or 1 / (-1), or -1. Thus, the limit exists and is -1.
f(x)=lnx
y=f(x)
dy/dx= 1/x
tangent at (x,y) has slope 1/x
eqn of tangent is y = mx + c
since the tangent passes through origin, c=0
substitute y = lnx and m= 1/x to above eqn
lnx = 1
x=e
y=lne=1
