Because the ratio of yellow to blue can be expressed as 5/3, you would solve the equation 5/3= 2/x. To solve, you would get x alone by cross multiplying and getting 5x=6. Divide both sides by 5 and get 6/5 or 1 and 1/5 cans of blue paint

If p is a polynomial show that lim x→ap(x)=p(a
Lostsunrise [7]

Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real number. Prove that

lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .

 

Solution. Notice that

 

2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .

 

So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x – 2.

 

Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| < 1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So

 

|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|

= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2

< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2

= 40

 

Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.

Think about the commutative property of real number operations as it applies to addition and subtraction of functions how do you
kati45 [8]
The question does not make sense.
The commutative property applies to addition and multiplication, not addition and subtraction.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction or division because in those operations, the order of the numbers makes a difference, whereas in addition and subtraction the order does not make a difference.

For example:

Addition
5 + 4 = 9
4 + 5 = 9
5 + 4 = 4 + 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to addition.

Multiplication 
5 * 4 = 20
4 * 5 = 20
5 * 4 = 4 * 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to multiplication.

Subtraction
5 - 4 = 1
4 - 5 = -1
5 - 4 is not equal to 4 - 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction.

Division
5/4 = 1.25
4/5 = 0.8
1.25 is not equal to 0.8.
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to division.

Khloe is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 7% compounded quarterly. How much would Khloe need to invest,
juin [17]

Answer:

$90,962.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for this is, where V = amount after t years:

V = P(1 + r/n)^nt   where P is the amount invested, r = the rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of times interest compounded each year and t = the number of years.

Here, V = 340,000, r = 0.07, n = 4 , t = 19 and P is to be found.

340,000 = P(1 + 0.07/4)^(4*19)

340,000 = P( 1.0175)^76

P = 340,000 / (1.0175^76)

P =  $90,962.66
