Answer 1

Answer:

  A = 4, B = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the limit to exist and have a value of 19, the left limit and the right limit must both have that value at x=7.

  left limit = 19

  right limit = 19

__

  4A(7)/7 +B = 19

  A(7) -3B = 19

Adding 3 times the first equation to the second gives ...

  3(4A +B) +(7A -3B) = 3(19) +(19)

  19A = 4(19) . . . . . simplify

  A = 4 . . . . . . . . divide by 19

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  4(4) +B = 19

  B = 3 . . . . . . . subtract 16

A is 4, B is 3.
