You have to deal with this type of question step by step. Firstly, you can figure out all the unknown values (such as sqrt x-3), by substituting x for 19, as you are trying to figure out f(x) when x=19. Therefore:
x+2=21
sqrt(x-3)=sqrt(19-3)=sqrt 16=4
Now the equation is easier to handle:
3/21 - 4
We can write this as 3/21 - 4/1 , which equals -27/7.
Add 3 and 12 , cancel -2 y+2y and and add 14 and 14
3x-2y=14
12x+2y=14
15x=28
Divide both sides by 15
X=28/15
3x 28/15 -2y=14
Y=-21/5
(X,y)=28/15, -21/5
3x 28/15 -2x(-21/5)=12x 28/15 +2x(-21/5)=14
14=14=14
(x, y)=(28/15, -21/5) is the answer
i would say c is the best answer or the 3rd one
Using the rational root theorem, it is found that your friend is correct.
<h3>What is the rational root theorem?</h3>
- It is a theorem that states that for a polynomial with integer coefficients, with q being the factors of the leading coefficient and p being the factors of the constant, every <u>possible rational root</u> is the format
.
In this problem:
- The leading coefficient is 1, hence it's only factor is
, thus guaranteeing that every possible rational zero is an integer, which means that your friend is correct.

1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point
=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.
So x = 2 is a critical point
2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)
Multiply both terms:
[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]
for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1
=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5
=> x = - 6
Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.
Answer: option B.
