Answer:

general formula

x²-(a+b)x+(ab)

where a is alpha

and b is beta

x=-4+2/6 or x=-4-2/6

x=-1/3 or x=-1

a+b=-1/3 + -1 =-4/3

ab= -1/3 x -1 =1/3

quadratic equation

x²-(-4/3)x + 1/3=0

x² + 4/3x + 1/3=0

multiply through by 3

3x² +4x +1=0

Find the limit. use l'hospital's rule where appropriate. if there is a more elementary method, consider using it. lim x→0 sin(9x

alisha [4.7K]

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\sin9x\csc7x=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin9x}{\sin7x}=\frac97\lim_{x\to0}\frac{7x\sin9x}{9x\sin7x}$

Recall that for $a\neq0$ ,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin ax}{ax}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{ax}{\sin ax}=1$

You can separate the two expressions with $a=7$ and $a=9$ , which both approach 1, so that the limit is $\dfrac97$ .

Alternatively, using L'Hopital's rule,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\sin9x}{\sin7x}\stackrel{\mathrm{LHR}}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{9\cos9x}{7\cos7x}=\dfrac97$

How do i solve using the substitution method? x+y=-1 y=-2x

leonid [27]

Answer:

$(1, -2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set the second equation into the first

$x + (-2x) = -1$

$x - 2x = -1$

$-x / -1 = -1 / -1$

$x = 1$

Step 2: Solve the second equation

$y = -2(1)$

$y = -2$

Answer: $(1, -2)$

Leona [35]

Answer:

I am taking my first programming course, so my apologies if this is a dumb question/possibly classified by the wrong category on this site. One of the exercise problems I am working on is the following:

Define a function print_total_inches, with parameters num_feet and num_inches, that prints the total number of inches. Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Ex:

print_total_inches(5, 8) prints:

Total inches: 68
