Recall that a rational function:

\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)},

has a vertical asymptote at x₀ if and only if:

Q(x_0)=0.

Also, the roots of the above rational function are the same as P(x).

Since the rational function has a vertical asymptote at x=-1, we get that its denominator must be:

Q(x)=x+1\text{.}

Since the rational function has a double zero at x=2 we get that its numerator must be of the form:

P(x)=k(x-2)(x-2)\text{.}

Finally, since the rational function has y-intercept at (0,2) we get that:

2=\frac{P(0)}{Q(0)}=\frac{k(0-2)(0-2)}{0+1}\text{.}

Simplifying the above equation we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{k(-2)(-2)}{1}=2, \\ 4k=2. \end{gathered}

Dividing the above equation by 4 we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{4k}{4}=\frac{2}{4}, \\ k=\frac{1}{2}\text{.} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the rational function that satisfies the given conditions is:

f(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(x-2)(x-2)}{x+1}\text{.}

Answer:

The numerator is:

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)(x-2)

The denominator is:

(x+1)

spayn [35]

Answer:

360 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer, you have to multiply 5 and 8 by 3 because the drawing is 1/3 of the actual flag.

5 x 3 = 15

8 x 3 = 24

So, 24 x 15 = 360 in.

Hope this helps! :)

Point A is at (4,5) and lies on the graph of quadratic function f.
sveta [45]
We know that

g(x)=f(2x)
the transformation of f(x) to------------> f(2x)

means that point  (a,b) in graph of  f(x) becomes a point  (a/2,b) in graph of f(2x)

therefore
point A  (4,5)-----> becomes a point (4/2,5)-----> (2,5) in the graph of g(x)

the answer  
the point is (2,5)
