suppose the function g statisfies 24x - 2x^2 - 68 < g(x) < x^2 - 12x + 40. we want to use the squeeze theorem to evaluate lim(x→6) g(x). first evaluate: lim(x→6) 24x - 2x^2 - 68. next evaluate: lim(x→6) x^2 - 12x + 40. therefore, by the squeeze theorem, lim(x→6) g(x) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Evaluate $\lim_{x\rightarrow6}(24x - 2x^{2}-68)$
Substitute $x = 6$ into $24x - 2x^{2}-68$. $24\times6-2\times6^{2}-68=144 - 2\times36-68=144 - 72 - 68 = 4$
Step2: Evaluate $\lim_{x\rightarrow6}(x^{2}-12x + 40)$
Substitute $x = 6$ into $x^{2}-12x + 40$. $6^{2}-12\times6 + 40=36-72 + 40 = 4$
Step3: Apply Squeeze Theorem
Since $24x - 2x^{2}-68<g(x)<x^{2}-12x + 40$ and $\lim_{x\rightarrow6}(24x - 2x^{2}-68)=\lim_{x\rightarrow6}(x^{2}-12x + 40)=4$, by the Squeeze Theorem, $\lim_{x\rightarrow6}g(x)=4$.
Answer:
$4$
