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)

How to solve the problem 3.2d-4d=2.3d+3
Liula [17]
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97

or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil. What would one pencil and one
vladimir2022 [97]

It is given in the question that

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.

Let the cost of pencil is $ x .

Therefore cost of pen is

$(x+0.40)

According to the question

12(x+0.40)+20x =16

Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get

12x+4.8+20x=16\\32x = 11.2\\x = 0.35

Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is

0.35+0.40=0.75

THERE IS MORE THAN ONE ANSWER THEIR IS UP TO 3 ANSWERS
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

-4.01, -4, -7

Step-by-step explanation:

equation:

-x + 6 ≥ 10

substitute each number for x

- (-3.9) + 6 ≥ 10 = (negatives cancel each other out) 3.9 + 6 = 9.9 ≥ 10 (incorrect)

-4 + 6 ≥ 10 = 2 ≥ 10 (incorrect)

- (-4.01) + 6 ≥ 10 = (negatives cancel each other out) 10.01 ≥ 10 (correct)

- (-4) + 6 ≥ 10 = (negatives cancel each other out) 10 ≥ 10 (correct)

-4.01 + 6 ≥ = 1.99 ≥ 10 (incorrect)

-3.9 + 6 ≥ 10 = 2.1 ≥ 10 (incorrect)

-0 + 6 ≥ 10 = 6 ≥ 10 (incorrect)

- (-7) + 6 ≥ 10 = (negatives cancel each other out) 11 ≥ 10 (correct)
