Dividing x^2 - 16 by 4x - 24  gives the quotient (1/4)x + 3/2

y = (1/4)x + 3/2  would be an asymptote  ( discontinuity)

Another would be a vertical discontinuity  when x =  6  (this would make the denominator 4x-24  = 0.

Answer:

x=6 is only the point of discontinuity for the function f(x).      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function f(x)=\frac{x^2-16}{4x-24}.

We have to find the discontinuities of the function.

Point of discontinuities are the points at which the function is not defined.

To find the point of discontinuities we have to put the denominator 0 to find the value of x or to find the point of discontinuity.

∴ 4x-24=0

⇒ 4x=24 ⇒ x=6

Ar x=6 the denominator becomes 0 and the function f(x) is not defined.

Hence, x=6 is only the point of discontinuity for the function f(x).

The original pulse rates are measure with units of​ "beats per​ minute". what are the units of the corresponding z​ scores? choo
posledela
the complete question is

 Pulse rates of women are normally distributed with a mean of 77.5 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 11.6 beats per minute. The original pulse rates are measure with units of "beats per minute". What are the units of the corresponding z scores? Choose the correct choice below.

A. The z scores are measured with units of "beats per minute."

B. The z scores are measured with units of "minutes per beat."

C. The z scores are measured with units of "beats."

D. The z scores are numbers without units of measurement.

we know that

A z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean a data point is. But more technically it’s a measure of how many standard deviations below or above the population mean a raw score is

The z scores are numbers without units of measurement

therefore

the answer is the option D
