(a) What is wrong with the following equation? x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = x + 7 (x − 6)(x + 7) ≠ x2 + x − 42 The left-hand side is not defined for x = 0, but the right-hand side is. The left-hand side is not defined for x = 6, but the right-hand side is. None of these — the equation is correct. (b) In view of part (a), explain why the equation lim x → 6 x2 + x − 42 x − 6 = lim x → 6 (x + 7) is correct. Since x2 + x − 42 x − 6 and x + 7 are both continuous, the equation follows. Since the equation holds for all x ≠ 6, it follows that both sides of the equation approach the same limit as x → 6. This equation follows from the fact that the equation in part (a) is correct. None of these — the equation is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

= (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)

= [x² + (7x - 6x) - 42] / (x - 6)

= [x² + 7x - 6x - 42] / (x - 6)

= [(x² + 7x) - (6x + 42)] / (x - 6)

= [x(x + 7) - 6(x + 7)] / (x - 6)

= [(x + 7)(x - 6)] / (x - 6)

= x + 7 → when x approches 6

= 6 + 7

= 13

Other method:

Lim   (x² + x - 42) / (x - 6)

x→ 6

When x → 6, there is an indeterminate expression because: 6 - 6 = 0

Do you know the l'Hôpital's rule, when x → a:

Lim [ f(x) / g(x) ] = Lim [ f'(x) / g'(x) ]

f(x) = x² + x - 42

f'(x) = 2x + 1

g(x) = x - 6

g'(x) = 1

= f'(x) / g'(x)

= (2x + 1)/1

= 2x + 1 → when x approches 6

= 12 + 1

= 13

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
