<h3>Answer:  -2</h3>

======================================================

Work Shown:

\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{x-1}-2x }{ x-7 }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \frac{1}{x}\left(\sqrt{x-1}-2x\right) }{ \frac{1}{x}\left(x-7\right) }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \frac{1}{x}*\sqrt{x-1}-\frac{1}{x}*2x }{ \frac{1}{x}*x-\frac{1}{x}*7 }\\\\\\

\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}}*\sqrt{x-1}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}*(x-1)}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}}-2 }{ 1-\frac{7}{x} }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{ \sqrt{0-0}-2 }{ 1-0 }\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{-2}{1}\\\\\\\displaystyle L = -2\\\\\\

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

Explanation:

In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by 1/x. This divides every term by x. Doing this leaves us with various inner fractions that have the variable in the denominator. Those inner fractions approach 0 as x approaches infinity.

I'm using the rule that

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x^k} = 0\\\\\\

where k is some positive real number constant.

Using that rule will simplify the expression greatly to leave us with -2/1 or simply -2 as the answer.

In a sense, the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are -2x and x respectively. They are the largest terms for each, so to speak. As x gets larger, the influence that -2x and x have will greatly diminish the influence of the other terms.

This effectively means,

\displaystyle L = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ \sqrt{x-1}-2x }{ x-7 } = \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{ -2x }{ x} = -2\\\\\\

I recommend making a table of values to see what's going on. Or you can graph the given function to see that it slowly approaches y = -2. Keep in mind that it won't actually reach y = -2 itself.

mike's condo has a market value of 310000. the property in mikes area is assessed at 40% of the market value. the tax rate is 14
Svetradugi [14.3K]
If you would like to know Mike's tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

a market value ... 310000
the property ... 40% of the market value = 40% * 310000 = 40/100 * 310000 = 124000

the tax rate ... 145.10 per 1000 of assessed valuation
145.10 ... 1000 of assessed valuation
x ... 124000 of assessed valuation
____________________________
145.10 * 124000 = 1000 * x     /1000
x = 145.10 * 124000 / 1000
x = 17992.4 (Mike's tax)

The correct result would be: Mike's tax is 17992.4.
