Answer: Distance between line and point =

4√5 -3/2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the line is

= √ ((9-0)²+(0+1)²)

= √ (89+1)

= √90

= 3√10

Half of the line = 3/2√10

Distance of one side of the line and the point.

= √((9-1)²+(0-4)²)

= √((8)²+(-4)²)

=√64+16

= √80

= 4√5

Distance between line and point =

4√5 -3/2√10

You can check that the limit comes in an undefined form:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{2\cos(x)-1}{\tan^2(x)-3}=\dfrac{0}{0}$

In these cases, we can use de l'Hospital rule, and evaluate the limit of the ratio of the derivatives. We have:

$\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}2\cos(x)-1 = -2\sin(x)$

and

$\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}\tan^2(x)-3 = 2\dfrac{\tan(x)}{\cos^2(x)}=\dfrac{2\sin(x)}{\cos^3(x)}$

So, we have

$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{2\cos(x)-1}{\tan^2(x)-3}=\lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}} \dfrac{-2\sin(x)}{\frac{2\sin(x)}{\cos^3(x)}}=\lim_{x\to\frac{\pi}{3}}-\cos^3(x)=-\cos^3\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)$

Write 7:30 in two ways

Aloiza [94]

Three ways are:

In Fraction Form: $\frac{7}{30}$
In Ratio its: What you said 7:30

And

In a Percent Form Its: 0.23- %
(I got that from dividing 7 by 30.)

Hope IT helped You. :D
