Consider fraction \dfrac{9x^3+4x^2+11x+7}{x^2+bx+8}. The domain of this fraction is x^2+bx+8\neq 0.

Find the discriminant of the the equation x^2+bx+8=0:

D=b^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 8=b^2-32.

There are choices:

1. If D>0, there are two solutions of the equation;

2. D=0, there is only unique solution of the equation;

3. D<0, there are no solutions.

If x^2+bx+8\neq 0 you should consider case 3, then
b^2-32.

Therefore, the greatest integer is 5.

-4 × 7 with an absolute value is?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Your answer is 28. 

If the equation is in an absolute value, you do the operation like normal and then take the positive version of the number because an absolute value is just how far on a number line the number is from zero and distance cannot be measure in negative numbers.

A gym charges a monthly fee and an additional cost for each class. Consider the graph that represents the relationship between t
bija089 [108]
For this problem you need to understand that a linear graph is a straight line (Remember Rise/Run). 
A continous function is <span>a </span>continuous function<span> is a </span>function <span>for which sufficiently small changes in the input result in arbitrarily small changes in the output, so we can already cross off that as an answer.
The Y-Intercept is the cost (in dollars), so this would be to monthly fee. 
Now, onto the rate of change. T</span>he rate of change is <span>represented by the slope of a line. So the more classes you take the more it will increase. Therefore the cost for  one class is the rate of change. 
Lastly, the cost for one class is $10. It's not, since $10 is the intial fee to belong to a gym, so this is false. 

Recap:
True
-The relationship is linear
-The y-intercept represents the monthly fee.
-The rate of change represents the cost for one class.
False
-The relationship represents a continuous function. 
-The cost for one class is $10.
