F(x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
mina [271]2 years ago

a) Since both limits are <em>distinct</em> and do not exist, we conclude that x = - 1 is not part of the domain of the <em>rational</em> function.

b) The function f(x) = \frac{x}{x^{2}+ x} is equivalent to the function g(x) = \frac{1}{x + 1}.

<h3>How to determine whether a limit exists or not</h3>

According to theory of limits, a function f(x) exists for x = a if and only if \lim_{x\to a^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a^{+}} f(x). This criterion is commonly used to prove continuity of functions.

<em>Rational</em> functions are not continuous for all value of x, as there are x-values that make denominator equal to 0. Based on the figure given below, we have the following <em>lateral</em> limits:

\lim_{x \to -1^{-}} \frac{x}{x^{2}+x} = - \infty

\lim_{x \to -1^{+}} \frac{x}{x^{2}+x} = + \infty

Since both limits are <em>distinct</em> and do not exist, we conclude that x = - 1 is not part of the domain of the <em>rational</em> function.

In addition, we can simplify the function by <em>algebra</em> properties:

\frac{x}{x^{2}+ x} = \frac{x}{x\cdot (x + 1)} = \frac{1}{x + 1}

g(x) = \frac{1}{x + 1}

The function f(x) = \frac{x}{x^{2}+ x} is equivalent to the function g(x) = \frac{1}{x + 1}.

Assessment items What is the quotient? 1 5/8 ÷(−1 3/5 )
Solnce55 [7]

We need convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

1\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{1\cdot8+5}{8}=\dfrac{8+5}{8}=\dfrac{13}{8}\\\\1\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{1\cdot5+3}{5}=\dfrac{5+3}{5}=\dfrac{8}{5}

Divide the number by a fraction, this is the same as multiply this number by the reciprocal of the fraction:

1\dfrac{5}{8}\div\left(-1\dfrac{3}{5}\right)=-\dfrac{13}{8}\div\dfrac{8}{5}=-\dfrac{13}{8}\cdot\dfrac{5}{8}=-\dfrac{(13)(5)}{(8)(8)}=-\dfrac{65}{64}\\\\\boxed{1\dfrac{5}{8}\div\left(-1\dfrac{3}{5}\right)=-1\dfrac{1}{64}}
