ANSWER:

a. (1, 0)

b. (0, 1/6)

c. x = -2. x = 3

d. y = 0

e. The asymptotes have the form of a line and divide the function into 3 parts.

f.

\begin{equation*} \text{Domain: }\left(-\infty\:,\:-2\right)\cup\left(-2,\:3\right)\cup\left(3,\:\infty\:\right) \end{equation*}

g.

\text{Range}(-\infty,\infty)

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following function:

f\left(x\right)=\frac{x-1}{x^2-x-6}

The graph corresponding to the function is the following:

We determine in each case what the statement asks for, like this:

a. the x-intercept(s):

\begin{gathered} \text{ in this case y = 0, therefore:} \\  \\ \frac{x-1}{x^2-x-6}=0 \\  \\ x-1=0\cdot(x^2-x-6) \\  \\ x=1 \\  \\ \text{The x-intercept is \lparen1, 0\rparen} \end{gathered}

b. the y-intercept:

\begin{gathered} \text{ in this case x = 0, therefore } \\  \\ y=\frac{0-1}{0^2-0-6} \\  \\ y=\frac{-1}{-6} \\  \\ y=\frac{1}{6} \\  \\ \text{ The y-intercept is }\:\left(0,\frac{1}{6}\right) \end{gathered}

c. the equation(s) of any vertical asymptote(s). The horizontal asymptotes are the values that x cannot take since the function would be discontinuous for those values.

In this case, since it is a rational function, it would be when the denominator is 0, therefore, we solve the following:

\begin{gathered} x^2-x-6=0 \\  \\ (x-3)(x+2)=0 \\  \\ x-3=0\rightarrow x=3 \\  \\ x+2=0\operatorname{\rightarrow}x=-2 \\  \\ \text{ The equation\lparen s\rparen of any vertical asymptote are:} \\  \\ x=3,x=-2 \end{gathered}

d. the equation of the horizontal asymptote. If the degree of the denominator is greater than that of the numerator, the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis, that is:

y=0

e. information about the behavior at the asymptote(s).

In this case the behavior of the asymptotes are straight lines that represent values that the function cannot take or cannot reach, divide the function into 3 parts.

f and g.

In this case, the domain is the interval of values that x can take and the range is the interval of values that y can take.

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} \text{Domain: }\left(-\infty\:,\:-2\right)\cup\left(-2,\:3\right)\cup\left(3,\:\infty\:\right) \\  \\ \text{Range:}\:\left(-\infty\:,\:\infty\:\right) \end{gathered}

Identify the vertex of y = x2 + 4x + 5.
Xelga [282]
ANSWER

The vertex is (-2,1)

EXPLANATION

We want to find the vertex of

y = {x}^{2} + 4x + 5

We complete the square to obtain,

y = {x}^{2} + 4x + {(2})^{2} - {(2})^{2} + 5

The first three terms forms a perfect square trinomial.

y = {(x + 2})^{2} - 4 + 5

The vertex form is

y = {(x + 2})^{2} + 1


This equation is in the form;

y = a{(x -h})^{2} + k


where (h,k)=(-2,1) is the vertex.

Fantom [35]
A geometry program can show you the total displacement is about 10.14 miles.

_____
You can use a vector calculator to find the solution, too. Using bearing angles, the sum is
   4∠90° + 3∠135° + 3∠180° + 4∠225° + 3∠90° ≈ 10.1390∠141.6354°

_____
If you want to do it by hand, you can recognize the sum will be
   7 miles east + 3 miles south + 3 miles southeast + 4 miles southwest

Distances that are not in the direction of one of the coordinate axes can be translated to rectangular coordinates by 
   displacement*(cos(angle), sin(angle))
Angles can be measured in the conventional way—from the positive x-axis. A direction of southeast will be +315° or -45°. A direction of southwest will be +225° or -135°.

Then the sum of the displacements in rectangular coordinates is ...
   = (7, -3) + 3*(cos(-45°), sin(-45°)) + 4*(cos(-135°), sin(-135°))
   = (7, -3) + ((√2)/2)*((3, -3) + (-4, -4))
   = (7, -3) + 0.707107*(-1, -7)
   = (6.2929, -7.9497)
Then the Pythagorean theorem is used to find the direct distance from home to this displaced location.
   d = √(6.2929² +(-7.9497)²) ≈ √102.7990
   d ≈ 10.1390 . . . . miles

You deposit $300 in a savings account that pays 6% interest compounded semiannually. How much will you have at the middle of the
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  How much will you have at the middle of the first year?

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 0.5 years

Total amount = A = ?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

substituting the values

A=300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(0.5\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06}{2}

A=\frac{618}{2}

A=309 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 0.5 years is $ 309.00.

Part b) How much at the end of one year?

Principle P = $300

Annual rate r = 6% = 0.06 per year

Compound n = Semi-Annually = 2

Time (t in years) = 1 years

Total amount = A = ?

Using the formula

A\:=\:P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

so substituting the values

A\:=\:300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{\left(2\right)\left(1\right)}

A=300\cdot \frac{2.06^2}{2^2}

A=318.27 $

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest,  from compound interest on an original principal of  $ 300.00 at a rate of 6% per year  compounded 2 times per year  over 1 year is $ 318.27.
