Notice that we can simplify both numerator and denominator of our rational function. In the numerator we have a quadratic expression of the form

. To to simplify it, we are going to find tow numbers that add to 2 and multiply to -8; those numbers are 4 and -2.

In the denominator we have a difference of squares:

Now we can rewrite our function:

From the simplified form of our rational function we can infer that its graph has two vertical asymptotes at

and
We can conclude that the graphic of our rational function is:
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
When you plot the points, it makes a rectangle. The length is 5 units and the height is 3 units. 5 times 3 is 15
For this case we have that by definition, the density is given by:

Where:
M: It is the mass
V: It is the volume
According to the data of the statement we have:

So, the mass is given by:

Thus, the mass of the brass ornament is
Answer:

y=5, x=7 because if 3x5=15 then 15-7=8 dont report me if i do get this wrong
