Answer:

We have to compute the following limit.

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{x - 2}{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4 } } }

  • Substitute x=2

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{2 - 2}{ \sqrt{ {2}^{2} - 4 } } }

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{0}{ \sqrt{4 - 4} } }

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{0}{ \sqrt{0} }  \:  =   \frac{0}{0}  = 0}

Using direct substitution to find the limit results in the indeterminate form \displaystyle\frac{0}{0}In order to evaluate the limit, we need to transform the expression to remove the indeterminate form. This is accomplished by using the relationship for the difference of squares of real numbers:

As for rational function with square root in it, we conjugate the expression by multiplying both denominator and numerator with the square root expression.

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{(x - 2)}{ (\sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4) } } \times  \frac{( \sqrt{ {x}^{2}  - 4  )} }{ (\sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4) } }  }

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{(x - 2)( \sqrt{ {x}^{2}  - 4) } }{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} - 4 } } }

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{ \cancel{(x - 2)}( \sqrt{ {x}^{2}  + 4)} }{(x + 2) \cancel{(x - 2)}} }

\displaystyle{\lim_{x→2} \:  \:  \frac{ \sqrt{ {x}^{2}  - 4 } }{x + 2)} }

  • Substitute x=2

\displaystyle{ \frac{ \sqrt{ {2}^{2}  - 4} }{2 + 2}  =    \frac{ \sqrt{4 - 4} }{4}  =  \frac{ \sqrt{0} }{4}   =  \frac{0}{4} = 0 }

Thus,the limit value of expression is 0.

  • Hint: In the above given type of questions first we will have to decide what limits are we going to apply and also check what is the function in the square root, there are different methods of solving limit of square root, like taking common of the highest root from the denominator as well as numerator, by rationalizing either denominator or numerator, by using L’Hospital’s Rule.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! We are given the limit expression:

\displaystyle \large{ \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{x-2}{\sqrt{x^2-4}} }

If we directly substitute x = 2 then we get 0/0 which is an indeterminate form. Therefore, we need to find other methods to evaluate the limit that does not become an indeterminate form.

As for rational function with square root in it, we conjugate the expression by multiplying both denominator and numerator with the square root expression.

\displaystyle \large{ \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(\sqrt{x^2-4})}{\sqrt{x^2-4}\sqrt{x^2-4}} }\\\displaystyle \large{ \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(\sqrt{x^2-4})}{x^2-4} }

When two same square root expressions multiply each other, the square root is taken out as shown above.

From denominator, we can factor x²-4 to (x-2)(x+2) via differences of two squares.

Hence:

\displaystyle \large{ \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(\sqrt{x^2-4})}{(x+2)(x-2)} }

Cancel x-2.

\displaystyle \large{ \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{\sqrt{x^2-4}}{x+2} }

Then substitute x = 2 which we receive 0/4 = 0.

Henceforth, the limit value of expression is 0.

A. 0 - 4 < 3(0) - 1

- 4 < - 1

True

B. 0 - 1 < 3(0) - 4

- 1 < - 4

False

C. y + 4 < 3x - 1

0 + 4 < 3(0) - 1

4 < - 1

False

D. y + 4 < 3x + 1

Ahab needs to mix 3.5 cups of liquid iced tea concentrate with 3 cups of water to make iced tea. Ahab has 21 cups of iced tea co
liraira [26]

Answer:

  39 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...

  6.5/3.5 = x/21

to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.

Multiplying by 21, we get ...

  x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39

Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

0.0000

Unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a tobacco company claims that the amount of nicotine in its cigarettes is a random variable with mean 2.2 mg and standard deviation .3 mg.

i.e. population parameters are

\mu =2.2 \\s = 0.3

The approximate probability that the sample meanwould have been as high or higher than 3.1

=P(X\geq 3.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{3.1-2.2}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100} } } )\\=P(Z\geq 30)\\

=0.0000
