How do you determine the limit algebraically?

0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard calculus question. If you search out L'Hopital's Rule you will find that there are only Calculus examples present. If you use calculus, the answer comes to 1/8. The only way I can think of doing this without the use of Calculus is to let x = something very small -- say x = 0.0001 That approaches 0, but it is not quite = to 0.

So let's try it.

16 + 0.00001  = 16.00001

sqrt(16.0001) = 4.00000125

Now subtract 4

4.00000125 - 4

0.00000125

Now divide by 0.00001

0.12499998

which is close to 0.125.

If someone else can give you an answer that is "purer" than this one, take it.

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
