It looks like the limit you want to find is
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\frac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4}[/tex]
One way to compute this limit relies only on the definition of the constant e and some basic properties of limits. In particular,
[tex]e = \displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\frac1x\right)^x[/tex]
The idea is to recast the given limit to make it resemble this definition. The definition contains a fraction with x as its denominator. If we expand the fraction in the given limand, we have a denominator of x - 1. So we rewrite everything in terms of x - 1 :
[tex]\left(\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \left(\dfrac{x-1+5}{x-1}\right)^{x-1+5} \\\\ = \left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^{x-1+5} \\\\ =\left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^{x-1} \times \left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^5[/tex]
Now in the first term of this product, we substitute y = (x - 1)/5 :
[tex]\left(\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \left(1+\dfrac1y\right)^{5y} \times \left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^5[/tex]
Then use a property of exponentiation to write this as
[tex]\left(\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \left(\left(1+\dfrac1y\right)^y\right)^5 \times \left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^5[/tex]
In terms of end behavior, (x - 1)/5 and x behave the same way because they both approach ∞ at a proportional rate, so we can essentially y with x. Then by applying some limit properties, we have
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\frac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\left(1+\dfrac1x\right)^x\right)^5 \times \left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^5 \\\\ = \lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\left(1+\dfrac1x\right)^x\right)^5 \times \lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)^5 \\\\ =\left(\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1x\right)^x\right)^5 \times \left(\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac5{x-1}\right)\right)^5[/tex]
By definition, the first limit is e and the second limit is 1, so that
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\frac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = e^5\times1^5 = \boxed{e^5}[/tex]
You can also use L'Hopital's rule to compute it. Evaluating the limit "directly" at infinity results in the indeterminate form [tex]1^\infty[/tex].
Rewrite
[tex]\left(\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \exp\left((x+4)\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right)[/tex]
so that
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty} \left(\frac{x+4}{x-1}\right)^{x+4} = \lim_{x\to\infty}\exp\left((x+4)\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right) \\\\ = \exp\left(\lim_{x\to\infty}(x+4)\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right) \\\\ =\exp\left(\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}}{\dfrac1{x+4}}\right)[/tex]
and now evaluating "directly" at infinity gives the indeterminate form 0/0, making the limit ready for L'Hopital's rule.
We have
[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}\right] = -\dfrac5{(x-1)^2}\times\dfrac{1}{\frac{x+4}{x-1}} = -\dfrac5{(x-1)(x+4)}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1{x+4}\right]=-\dfrac1{(x+4)^2}[/tex]
and so
[tex]\displaystyle \exp\left(\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{\ln\dfrac{x+4}{x-1}}{\dfrac1{x+4}}\right) = \exp\left(\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{-\dfrac5{(x-1)(x+4)}}{-\dfrac1{(x+4)^2}}\right) \\\\ = \exp\left(5\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x+4}{x-1}\right) \\\\ = \exp(5) = \boxed{e^5}[/tex]

7) Ten times the sum of -150 and a number yields -110.
Answer:
the answer to that is 10(N+14)=9N
Let the number = x
Set up an equation:
10(-150 + x ) = -110
Simplify:
-1500 + 10x = -110
Add 1500 to both sides
10x = 1390
Divide both sides by 10
X = 139
The number is 139
90units needed 8 units per case what's the #of cases & # of additional units
Answer:
# of cases: 11
Additional units: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If each case can hold 8 units, and we want to find the total # number of cases, we have to divide the # of units (8) for one case by the total # units (90).
As you can see, after dividing by 8, we have a total of 11 cases and a remainder of 2 units. The remainder will be the # of additional units because we cannot have another case filled with 8 units.

4a. a_n = 2(1/3 + a_n-1), a_1 = 4
4b. a_n= n/(a_n-1), a_1 = 6
4c. 1/6, 2/3, 8/3, . . .
Problem 4a
The instructions are incomplete. You set up the recursive formula, but didn't ask any question about said formula.
I'll assume that your teacher wants you to list out a few terms. I'll list out the first five terms.
The notation a_1 = 4 is the same as writing [tex]a_1 = 4[/tex] where the '1' is a subscript. It tells us that the first term is 4.
The nth term a_n or [tex]a_n[/tex] is defined as such
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\[/tex]
Notice how if we replaced n with 2, then we get
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_{2-1})\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_1)\\\\[/tex]
So the second term is directly tied to the first term, or it is dependent on it.
We'll replace a_1 with 4 to get the following
[tex]a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_1)\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + 4)\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + 12/3)\\\\a_2 = 2*(13/3)\\\\a_2 = 26/3\\\\[/tex]
So the second term is 26/3.
As you can guess, the third term is going to be found in a similar fashion
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + a_{3-1})\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + a_2)\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + 26/3)\\\\a_3 = 2*(27/3)\\\\a_3 = 2*(9)\\\\a_3 = 18\\\\[/tex]
So 18 is the third term.
We'll repeat for n = 4 to get the fourth term.
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + a_{4-1})\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + a_3)\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + 18)\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + 54/3)\\\\a_4 = 2*(55/3)\\\\a_4 = 110/3\\\\[/tex]
The fourth term is 110/3.
Lastly, we'll plug in n = 5
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + a_{5-1})\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + a_4)\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + 110/3)\\\\a_5 = 2*(111/3)\\\\a_5 = 2*(37)\\\\a_5 = 74\\\\[/tex]
The fifth term is 74.
Answer: The first five terms are 4, 26/3, 18, 110/3, 74==============================================================
Problem 4b
Again, the instructions are missing. I'll assume the same thing as problem 4a.
[tex]a_1 = 6[/tex] is the first term
Plug n = 2 into the first equation to get
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{a_{2-1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{a_{1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{6}\\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{3}\\\\[/tex]
The second term is 1/3.
Repeat for n = 3
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{a_{3-1}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{a_{2}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{1/3}\\\\a_3 = 3\div\frac{1}{3}\\\\a_3 = 3\times\frac{3}{1}\\\\a_3 = 9\\\\[/tex]
The third term is 9
Repeat for n = 4.
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{a_{4-1}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{a_{3}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{9}\\\\[/tex]
The fourth term is 4/9
Repeat for n = 5
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{a_{5-1}}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{a_{4}}\\\\a_5 = 5 \div a_{4}\\\\a_5 = 5 \div \frac{4}{9}\\\\a_5 = 5 \times \frac{9}{4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{1} \times \frac{9}{4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5*9}{1*4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{45}{4}\\\\[/tex]
Answer: The first five terms are 6, 1/3, 9, 4/9, 45/4==============================================================
Problem 4c
I'm not much help here for this problem. Not only are the instructions missing, but it's not clear how this sequence is set up. If I had to guess, it's somehow recursively defined. How exactly, I'm not sure. I would ask your teacher for any clarification.

by solving a pair of linear equation X + Y is equal to 20 and x-y=10 the value of 'x' and 'y' are
Answer:
x=15, y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=20
x-y=10
Adding both equations;
(x+x) + (y-y) = 20+10
2x = 30
x = 30/2 = 15
Substitute x=15 into x+y=20
y= 20-x = 20-15= 5

What is the maximum length of the seesaw? (6 points)
Select one:
a. 3.00 meters
b. 3.5 meter
C. 4,00 meters
d 4.5 meters
The maximum length of the seesaw is option c 4.00 meters.
What is a right-angled triangle?A right-angled triangle is one in which one of the angles is equal to 90 degrees. A 90 degree angle is called a right angle, which is why a triangle made up of right angle is termed a right angled triangle.
What are hypotenuse, height of a right-angled triangle?A right-angled triangle has three sides- hypotenuse, base and height. Hypotenuse is the longest and also the opposite side of the right angle of the triangle, base and height of a right triangle are always the sides adjacent to the right angle.
How to measure the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle?The formula for measuring the hypotenuse is,
Height / Hypotenuse = Sinθ , where θ is the angle opposite to the height of the triangle.
In the given question, the seesaw should make an angle of 30° with the ground and the maximum height it should rise is 2 meters so the height here is 2 meters. So the seesaw will make a right angled triangle.
Height = 2 meters, θ = 30°,
Now using the formula,
2 / Hypotenuse = Sin30°
Rearranging we get,
Hypotenuse = 2 / Sin30°
The value of Sin30° is 1/2 and putting the value we get,
Hypotenuse = 2 / (1/2)
= 2 × 2
= 4 meters.
Therefore, the maximum length of the seesaw (that is the hypotenuse ) is 4 meters.

Four students drive to school in the same car. The students claim they were late to school and missed a test because of a flat tire. On the makeup test, the instructor asks the students to identify the tire that went flat; front driver's side, front passenger's side, rear driver's side, or rear passenger's side. If the students didn't really have a flat tire and each randomly selects a tire, what is the probability that all four students select the same tire
Hence, the probability that all four students select the same tire is [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex].
What is the probability?
Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.
Probability has been introduced in Maths to predict how likely events are to happen. The meaning of probability is basically the extent to which something is likely to happen.

The expression equivalent to x(y)^(2/9) is option D. x [tex]\sqrt[9]{y^{2} }[/tex].
What are Expressions?Expressions are mathematical statements which consist of two or more terms and terms are connected to each other using mathematical operators like addition, multiplication, subtraction and so on.
The given expression is x(y)^(2/9).
We have to find the equivalent expressions of this.
We can write the exponent 2/9 as 2 × 1/9.
So, x(y)^(2/9) = x(y)^(2 × 1/9)
We have the power of a power rule,
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ
Using this rule,
(y)^(2 × 1/9) = (y²)^(1/9)
So, x(y)^(2/9) = x (y²)^(1/9)
Also, we have,
[tex]\sqrt[n]{x}[/tex] = [tex](x)^{\frac{1}{n}}[/tex]
So, (y²)^(1/9) = [tex]\sqrt[9]{y^{2} }[/tex]

Your question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls. Two balls are drawn without replacement. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red
Answer:
12/55
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.
Given that the bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls, the probability of picking a red ball
p(r) = 8/(8+3) = 8/11
Probability of picking a white ball
= 3/11
when a red ball is picked first, the total number of balls reduces to 10 hence the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red
=8/11 * 3/10
= 24/110
= 12/55

9514 1404 393
Answer:
b) 24 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual metric measure of vehicle fuel efficiency is liters per 100 km. Greater efficiency is indicated by a lower value.
In the US, the measure is usually miles per gallon. Greater efficiency is indicated by a higher value. Since we want the efficiency expressed in miles per gallon, we need to divide distance by fuel consumption.
(distance)/(fuel used) = (100 km)/(10 L)
= (100 km)/(10 L) × (1 mi)/(1.6 km) × (3.8 L)/(1 gal) = (100×3.8)/(10×1.6) mi/gal
= 23.75 mi/gal ≈ 24 mi/gal

Expected value:
Probability of each outcome multiplied by the outcome.
One out of 6 sides is 2:
1/6 probability of the player earning 45 - 9 = $36.
5/6 probability of the player losing $9. So
[tex]E = 36\frac{1}{6} - 9\frac{5}{6} = \frac{36 - 45}{6} = -\frac{9}{6} = -1.5[/tex]

The perimeter of the rectangle is
[tex]P = 2(4x + 2x) = 12x[/tex]
The perimeter of the octagon is
[tex]P = 8(1.5x) = 12x[/tex]
So for x = 1, the perimeter of the rectangle, as well as the octagon, is 12 cm. For x = 2, its 24 cm. For x = 3, it's 36 and so on. So the pattern here is with each integer increase in x, the perimeter increases by 12 cm. Also that the perimeters of both shapes are equal.
For each graph below, state whether it represents a function.
Answer:
graphs 1, 2, 3, and 4, can represent a function
graphs 5 and 6 can not represent a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
If for a given graph of a relationship you can draw a vertical line that intersects the graph in more than one point, then we can conclude that the graph does not represent a function.
Now, if we look at the first four graphs, we can see that no vertical line intersects more than one point, so the first four can represent functions.
The special case here is graph number 2, where we can see a white dot right below a colored dot, and if we draw a vertical line there, the line will touch both points. But, a white dot means that the exact point does not belong to the graph, so if the line passes through there, it will not intersect the graph.
For the last two, this is not the case, in graph 5 and graph 6 we could draw vertical lines that intersect the graphs twice
(any line like x = n, with n < 0, intersects two points in graph 5, while the line x = 0 intersects twice the graph number 6)
So graph 5 and graph 6 can't represent functions.

If a normally distributed population has a mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18, what will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106 from a sample size of 9?
Answer:
Z = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18
[tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 18[/tex]
Sample of 9:
This means that [tex]n = 9, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{9}} = 6[/tex]
What will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106?
This is Z when X = 106. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{106 - 100}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex]
So Z = 1 is the answer.
