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)

scZoUnD [109]
<h3>Answer:  11.55 liters</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

275 mL = 275/1000 = 0.275 L

1 cup = 0.275 L

6 cups = 6*0.275 L = 1.65 L

He drinks 1.65 L per day, so over 7 days he drinks a total of 7*1.65 = 11.55 liters.
