It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
A computer discounted at 30% off is less expensive.
First: 1000*.8 = 800
800*.9 = $720
Second: 1000*.7 = $700
The average speed of train:
12,000 km / ( 28 + 22 hr) =12,000 km / 50 hr = 240 km/hr
Answer: D)
First lets get 3% into decimal form.
3% is 3/100 = 0.03
Now multiply 0.03 by 47000 to get how much extra money she was going to get.
47000 * 0.03 = 1410
Now we just add
47000 + 1410 = 48410 is what she was going to make in 2012
Another way to do this is
(47000)(1+0.03) = 48410
you would use (1+0.03) which tells you she increased in pay.
