Where is the function f(x)=3x^2-6x-45/x^2-5x discontinuous, and what types of discontinuities does it have?

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x^2-6x-45/x^2-5x

= 3x^2-6x-45 / (x(x - 5))

The denominator is zero when x - 0 and x = 5.

So there will be a vertical asymptote  at x = 0 and a hole at x = 5.

If we do the division  we get f(x)  = 3  remainder 9x - 45

so there will also be a horizontal asymptote where x = 3.

Answer:

Hole at (3, 4.8)

Asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\dfrac{3x^2-6x-45}{x^2-5x}

Factor the numerator:

\implies 3x^2-6x-45

\implies 3(x^2-2x-15)

\implies 3(x^2+3x-5x-15)

\implies 3(x(x+3)-5(x+3))

\implies 3(x-5)(x+3)

Factor the denominator:

\implies x^2-5x

\implies x(x-5)

Factored form of function:

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{3(x-5)(x+3)}{x(x-5)}

Discontinuity: a point at which the function is not continuous.

<u>Holes</u>

After factoring the rational function, if there is a common factor in both the numerator and denominator, there will be a hole at that point (x-value):

\implies (x-5)=0 \implies x=5

Factor out the common factor from the function and input the found value of x into the new function to find the y-value of the hole:

\implies f(x)=\dfrac{3(x+3)}{x}

\implies f(5)=\dfrac{3(5+3)}{5}=4.8

Therefore, there is a hole at (5, 4.8)

<u>Asymptotes</u>

To find the vertical asymptotes, set the denominator of the new (factored) function to zero and solve:

⇒ Vertical Asymptote at x = 0

As the degrees of the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are equal (both x²), the horizontal asymptote is equal to the ratio of the leading coefficients.

⇒ Horizontal Asymptote at y = 3

Please Answer Attachment Below Thanks

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a heptagon add up to 5*180 = 900

So

x + 143 + 116 + 135 + 135 + 116 + 155 = 900     Add up the known angles

x + 800 = 900                                                   Subtract 800 from both sides

x + 800 - 800 = 900 - 800                              Combine

x = 100

For a pair of similar triangles, corresponding sides are always congruent.<br> True or false?
baherus [9]

That's false. 
For similar triangles, corresponding angles are congruent.
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio but rarely congruent.
(They're congruent only if the ratio is ' 1 ', i.e. the triangles are congruent
as well as being similar.)

En red socks and ten blue socks are all mixed up in a dresser drawer. The 20 socks are exactly alike except for their colour. Th
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

3 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, there are 10 red socks and 10 blue socks which are mixed up in the dresser drawer.

The socks are identical except the color.

We need to find out, the minimum number of socks to be taken out from the dark room so that there is at least a pair of matching socks comes out of the drawer.

Let us consider the cases:

First Two socks pulled out of the drawer.

Case 1: Both are red or both are blue.

In this case, the matching pair is ready.

But there can be other case as well.

Case 2:

One red and one blue color taken out.

Now, when we pull the third, there will be either red or blue.

That will make a pair.

Therefore, to cover up all the cases and to be certain to get a matching pair out of the drawer, <em>at least 3 socks must be taken out</em>.

So, the answer is:

We need to take out at least 3 socks.
