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.

What is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=x^2+4 for the domain of -2 to 4
Neko [114]

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function the average rate of change on an interval is the rate of change at the midpoint of the interval. The rate of change of a function is given by its derivative.

The derivative of f(x) = x^2 is f'(x) = 2x. The midpoint of the interval is (4+(-2))/2 = 1. Then the average rate of change is ...

  f'(1) = 2(1) = 2

The average rate of change of f(x) on [-2, 4] is 2.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The average rate of change is the slope of the line between the end points of the interval:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (f(4) -f(-2))/(4 -(-2)) = (20 -8)/(6) = 2

The average rate of change on [-2, 4] is 2.

_____

The attached graph shows the points on the curve and a line with slope 2 between them. It also shows the various slope calculations.

Write an equation of the form y = mx for the line shown below. If appropriate,
9966 [12]

Answer:

y = - 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-1-2}{2-(-4)} = \frac{-3}{2+4} = \frac{-3}{6} = - 0.5

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 0 ) ⇒ c = 0

y = - 0.5x + 0 . that is

y = - 0.5x

Haynes High School chartered buses for 60 students to go on a field trip. Valley High School chartered buses for 80 students.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the cost of a ticket at Haynes

Let 'y' be the cost of a ticket at Valley

Since the total cost from both schools are the same, we can write it as:

60x=80y

Since the cost of tickets at Valley was $5 less than Haynes, we can write it as:

y=x-5

Now we have two equations, we can use to substitute into the other expression:

60x=80y

60x=80(x-5) we substitute y in this equation with the other equation

60x=80x-400

-20x =-400

x = 20

Therefore the cost of the ticket at Haynes is $20 and the cost of the ticket at Valley is $15.
