Q. What happens to the value of the expression x5+5 as x decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number?Choose 1 answer:(A) It increases.(B) It decreases.(C) It stays the same.
Analyze Expression: Let's analyze the expression (5)/(x)+5 as x decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number.
Increase with Decreasing x: As x decreases from a large positive number, the value of x5 increases because the denominator of a fraction gets smaller, making the fraction itself larger.
Effect of Adding 5: Since (5)/(x) is getting larger and we are adding 5 to it, the overall value of the expression (5)/(x)+5 also increases.
Overall Value Increase: Therefore, as x decreases from a large positive number to a small positive number, the value of the expression x5+5 increases.
