Several batches of stew were made yesterday. Each batch required 1 and two-thirds pounds of meat. All together, 10 and StartFrac

tion 5 over 6 EndFraction pounds of meat was used. Janice tried to find the number of batches of stew made. Her work is shown below.
10 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction divided by 1 and two-thirds = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction times StartFraction 2 over 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 130 over 30 EndFraction = 4 and one-third

When she checked the answer by estimating, it did not make sense. What error did Janice make?

Answer:

Step 2

1 2/3 was converted as 5/2 instead of 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Each batch = 1 2/3
  • Total = 10 5/6

<u>Number of batches </u>

  • 10 5/6 : 1 2/3 =
  • 65/6 : 5/3 =
  • 65/6 * 3/5 =
  • 65/10 =
  • 6.5

<u>Solution by Janice:</u>

  1. 10 5/6 : 1 2/3 =
  2. 65/6 : <u>5/2</u> =
  3. 65/6 * 2/5 =
  4. 130/30 =
  5. 4 1/3

<u>Error made at step 2:</u>

  • StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction divided by five halves = StartFraction 65 over 6 EndFraction times StartFraction 2 over 5

1 2/3 was converted as 5/2 instead of 5/3

These are 3 questions and 3 answers.

1) Find


\lim_{x \to \ 2^+} f(x)

Answer: 4.

Explanation:

The expression means the limit as the function f(x) approaches 2 from the right.

Then, you have to use the function (the line) that comes from the right of 2 and gets as close as you want to x = 2.

That is the line that has the open circle around y = 4, and that is the limit searched.

2) Use the graph to determine the limit if it exists.

Answer:

\lim_{x \to \ 2^-} f(x) = 3

\lim_{x \to \ 2^+} f(x)=-3

To determine each limit you use the function from the side the value of x is being approached.

Note, that since the two limits are different it is said that the limit of the function as it approaches 2 does not exist.

3) 
Answer: - 1


\lim_{x \to \ 3^-} f(x) = -1

To find the limit when the function is approached to 3 from the left you follow the line that ends with the open circle at (3, -1).

Therefore, the limit is - 1.
