Jen and Ariel are reading a 400 page novel for their literature class. Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages

each day thereafter. Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days. Which statement BEST compares Jen's reading rate each day to Ariel's daily reading rate?
A) Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel.
B) Ariel reads 10 pages per day less than Jen.
C) Ariel read 20 pages less the first day than Jen read.
D) The reading rate each day for Jen and Ariel is the same.

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages each day thereafter.

Number of pages read by Jen per day = 50

Number of pages read by Jen on first day = 100

Ariel's progress on reading the book is represented by the linear function y = 40x + 80, where y is the total number of pages read after x days.

Number of pages read by Ariel per day = 40

Number of pages read by Ariel on first day = 40 + 80 = 120

Option A:

Jen reads 20 pages per day more than Ariel

Wrong

Option B:

Ariel reads 10 pages per day less than Jen.

Correct

Option C:

Ariel read 20 pages less the first day than Jen read.

Wrong

Option D:

The reading rate each day for Jen and Ariel is the same.

Wrong

Option B is the correct answer.

Transform the equation to isolate x: ax = bx + 1. How is
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{a-b}

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is ax-bx+1

We factor the left hand side to get:

(a-b)x=1

We divide both sides by: a-b

x=\frac{1}{a-b}

Observe that the difference of a and b is in the denominator.

The whole is of the form: x\propto \frac{1}{a-b}

The value of x is inversely proportional to the difference of <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
earnstyle [38]
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.

Most states categorize possession of cocaine charges by weight. Possessing less than a gram will result in the lowest level of f
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

  Over 2 oz. Class A-II felony

Step-by-step explanation:

One would need to carefully weigh the material.*

  0.06 kg ≈ 2.12 oz

Note that .06 kg is 1 significant figure, so this rounds to 2 oz (1 significant figure). Given the precision of the reported weight, there is insufficient precision to say the amount is actually over 2 oz.

__

If you take the numbers at face value, the suspect is in possession of over 2 oz, so will be charged with a Class A-II felony.

_____

* 2.00 ounces translates to about 0.0567 kg, which rounds to 0.06 kg.

The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit in
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "The following formula for the sum of the cubes of the first n integers is proved in Appendix E. Use it to evaluate the limit . 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2"

We have the following formula in order to find the sum of cubes:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} i^3

We can express this formula like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}i^3 =\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

And using this property we need to proof that: 1^3+2^3+3^3+...+n^3=[n(n+1)/2]^2

\lim_{n\to\infty} [\frac{n(n+1)}{2}]^2

If we operate and we take out the 1/4 as a factor we got this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{n^4}

We can cancel n^2 and we got

\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{(n+1)^2}{n^2}

We can reorder the terms like this:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (\frac{n+1}{n})^2

We can do some algebra and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+\frac{1}{n})^2

We can solve the square and we got:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2})

And when we apply the limit we got that:

\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{2}{n} +\frac{1}{n^2}) =1
