The point (4,y) has a known x coordinate of x = 4. The y coordinate is unknown right now so we'll just call it y.
Draw a vertical line (see side note below) through 4 on the x axis. I've done so in red (see attached image). The red line crosses the graph at the point (4,1) so this tells us that
y = 1Answer: y = 1
Side Note: you don't have to draw a vertical red line but it's handy to see how it works out. After you get used to these types of problems, you can visually be able to see the answer without these extra lines.
Yes because all sides would be equal to 5 which would give you 5*4 = 20 units.
Hi!
A topic is just a general thing you discuss, with no true moral ending you take away from it. A theme, on the other hand, wants to communicate a life lesson.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
A discontinuity is a point that cannot exist because the x-coordinate would cause a problem in the equation. If you have a polynomial in the denominator, you must find which values of x would cause the polynomial in the denominator to evaluate to zero. Since division by zero is undefined, that would cause a discontinuity.
Let's look at your function.


is in the numerator. It is defined for every value of x. There is no problem there.

is in the denominator. This is a function defined for every value of x, but since it is in the denominator, we must exclude the x-value that would cause this polynomial to evaluate to zero.
We set it equal to zero and solve the equation for x.



For x = 0, the denominator has a value of zero, so at this point there is a discontinuity in function f(x).
The answer is:
