How do you translate the words into algebraic expressions: he quotient of three times a number and six?

Answer 1

#(3x) / 6#

The quotient tells you that you must use division of a quantity. This quantity is 3 times a number and six. For the "number" set a variable, like #x#. "And" usually means addition, so you may think the result is #3x + 6#. But remember that you want the quotient, so this would NOT be the case. For the quotient, which involves division, you want #(3x) / 6#. Therefore, this would be your answer.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
