To determine To calculate: The value of limit, lim x → 2 x 2 − 5 x + 6 x 2 − 6 x + 8 . Explanation Given: The function, f ( x ) = x 2 − 5 x + 6 x 2 − 6 x + 8 . Formula used: lim x → a f ( x ) g ( x ) = lim x → a f ( x ) lim x → a g ( x ) Calculation: The value of lim x → 2 x 2 − 5 x + 6 x 2 − 6 x + 8 can be found out by application of the polynomial limit which is lim x → a f ( x ) = f ( a ) . Here, the quotient rule cannot be applied as lim x → 2 ( x 2 − 6 x + 8 ) = 0 , an irregularity is created in the limit. In this, the value of x shall be replaced by the limit that is 2. First, convert the limit into a simpler form to remove the irregularity. lim x → 2 x 2 − 5 x + 6 x 2 − 6 x + 8 = lim x → 2 x 2 − 3 x − 2 x + 6 x 2 − 4 x − 2 x + 8 = lim x ș

Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Design a Turing Machine recognizing each of the following languages and draw its state diagram. Note that the transition functions of the Turing Machine must be in the format of “a → b,L/R", namely the machine reads single symbol a from the tape, writes single symbol b to the cell to replace a, and then goes to either left L or right R. You will receive 0 point if you do not follow this instruction. (1) {w|w=a²b³, n ≥ 0} (2) {w|w=a'b³,i0} (3) {w|w a'bick,i
