Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to multiply
Answer: 
This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".
The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.
So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.
In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
Answer:
The population in 40 years will be 1220.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population present at time t.
This means that:

In which P(t) is the population after t years, P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.
The initial population of 500 increases by 25% in 10 years.
This means that 
We apply this to the equation and find t.




Applying ln to both sides




So

What will be the population in 40 years
This is P(40).


The population in 40 years will be 1220.
Answer:
x=-2.5 if the function is
Step-by-step explanation:
has discontinuities when the denominator is 0.
You will either have a hole or a vertical asymptote depending on what happens to the numerator after you find when the bottom is 0.
That is whatever you found that makes the bottom 0, if it makes the top also 0 then you will have a hole at x=the number that made the bottom 0.
If it makes the top anything other than 0, then it is a vertical asymptote at x=the number you found that made the bottom 0.
Let's do this now.
When is -4x-10 equal to 0?
We have to solve the equation:
-4x-10=0
Add 10 on both sides:
-4x=10
Divide both sides by -4:
x=10/-4
Reduce by dividing top and bottom by 2:
x=5/-2
x=-5/2
or
x=-2.5 (if you want decimal form)
Now does it make the top 0? This is the deciding factor on whether you have a hole at x=-2.5 or a vertical asymptote at x=-2.5.
Let's see.
8(-2.5)-3=-23
Since the top is not 0 at x=-2.5 then you have a vertical asymptote at x=-2.5.
If the top were 0, then you would have had a hole at x=-2.5.
