Dont take my work for it, but I believe the answer is false. Can someone else plz comfirm it...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is false to anyone else have an opinion

OpenStudy (ibbutibbu.):

Because I might be wrong. I just want someone else to say it is false too.That will conclude it

OpenStudy (phi):

if you have a fraction 2/x (which is what 20/10x simplifies to) as we make x bigger, the fraction gets smaller. example: x=2 we get 2/2= 1 x=2000, we get 2/2000 = 0.001 (definitely smaller)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is true

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, based on their expression (but the expression does not make sense. However I assume they are really testing if you know that 1/x goes to zero as x gets large, and all the other stuff is just to confuse the issue)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i guess it would make sense in real life

OpenStudy (phi):

I can imagine candy bars getting cheaper to make if you make lots of them, but they have to cost something (never zero)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes they can never be zero darn lol

OpenStudy (phi):

But let's hope they are asking does 20/10x approach 0 as x approaches infinity in which case the answer is yes.
