Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a function:

f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-16}{4x+24}

We have to find the point of discontinuity of the function.

As we can clearly see that the function is not well defined if the denominator is zero.

So, the point of discontinuity is that value of x where denominator is zero

i.e. x such that 4x+24=0

                         4x= -24

                          x= -6

Hence, function is discontinuous at x= -6

and is continuous at all x ≠ -6

The first thing we should do is write the function:
 (x ^ 2-16) / (4x + 24)
 This function represents a discontinuity in the x that make the denominator zero.
 We have then
 4x + 24 = 0
 x = -24 / 4 = -6
 answer
 the discontinuities of the function f (x) is x ≠ - 6

Find the average rate of change of the function between the given values of x. y = 9+ 5x + 0.5x2 between x = 2 and x = 4.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The average rate of change is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the average rate of change of a function F(x) is:

\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a}

In this case, F(x) = 0.5x^{2} +5x+9

a=2 and b=4

You have to evaluate x=2 (which is a in the formula) and x=4 (which is b in the formula) in the function.

In order to obtain F(b) and F(a) you have to replace x=4 and x=2 in the given function:

F(b) = (0.5)4^{2} + 5(4) +9= 37

F(a) = (0.5)2^{2} + 5(2)+9=21

\frac{F(b)-F(a)}{b-a} = \frac{37-21}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2} = 8

The answer is 8.

What is (14,-12) translated 6 units left
marissa [1.9K]
Going to the right or left when doing translation effects the x coordinate. In this case, the x coordinate is 14. Since we are moving 6 units to the left, we must subtract 6 from 14. Moving to the left is negative and moving to the right is positive.

14 - 6 = 8

The answer is (8,-12)

alyssa has 6 quarters, 4 dimes and 5 nickels in her change jar. if she picks 2 at random, what is the probability that she will
rusak2 [61]
The probability of Alyssa picking a nickel and a quarter would be 11/15 (eleven over fifteen)

6/15 plus 5/15 which is 11/15
You get 15 as the denominator because you add 6+4+5=15

I hope u understand.

cluponka [151]

Answer: Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Joe took $12 to the arcade. Each game cost $.50 to play.

This situation can be modeled with the equation y =-0.50 x+ 12.

Here,

Money Joe has remaining is repreesnted by 'y', and the number of games he plays is represented by 'x'.

Since y-intercept gives the initial value of the function when x=0.

To find y-intercept , we out x=0 in funtion , we get

y=-0.50(0)+12=12

So , y-intercept of this function is at y=12.

Meaning of the y-intercept in the terms of this problem :

Joe has initial amount of $12 ( when he played no game).

The angled of a triangle are in the ratio of 2:3:4 find angles in degrees
jeyben [28]

40°, 60° and 80°

sum the parts of the ratio 2 + 3 + 4 = 9

The sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

Divide 180 by 9 to find one part of the ratio

\frac{180}{9} = 20° ← 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × 20 = 40°

3 parts = 3 × 20 = 60°

4 parts = 4 × 20 = 80°

The angles in the triangle are 40°, 60° and 80°
