Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

$f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}$

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial $x^2-x-2$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x-2) (x + 1)$

We do the same with the numerator

$x^2+4x+3$

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

$(x+3)(x + 1)$

Therefore

$f(x) = \frac{(x+3)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}$

Note that $\frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1$ only if $x \neq -1$

So since $x = -1$ is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in $x = -1$

Imagine a couple who is ready to start a family. They plan to have exactly four children. Assuming no multiple births (twins, tr

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

4 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of children = 4

Distribution of the 4 children :

Number of boys = 3 ; Number of girls = 1

Boy = B ; Girl = G

Possible combinations :

BBBG ; GBBB ; BBGB ; BGBB

From the pascal triangle number of e; number of outcomes = 2

Having exactly 3 boys and 1 girl

Hence, of any of the 4 four total children, 3 must be boys and 1 girl ;

If (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x2+cx+14 for all values of x, and a+b=8, what are the 2 possible values fo c

dolphi86 [110]

Given:

$(ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14$

And

$a+b=8$

Required:

To find the two possible values of c.

Explanation:

Consider

$\begin{gathered} (ax+2)(bx+7)=15x^2+cx+14 \\ abx^2+7ax+2bx+14=15x^2+cx+14 \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} ab=15-----(1) \\ 7a+2b=c \end{gathered}$

And also given

$a+b=8---(2)$

Now from (1) and (2), we get

$\begin{gathered} a+\frac{15}{a}=8 \\ \\ a^2+15=8a \\ \\ a^2-8a+15=0 \end{gathered}$ $a=3,5$

Now put a in (1) we get

$\begin{gathered} (3)b=15 \\ b=\frac{15}{3} \\ b=5 \\ OR \\ b=\frac{15}{5} \\ b=3 \end{gathered}$

We can interpret that either of a or b are equal to 3 or 5.

When a=3 and b=5, we have

$\begin{gathered} c=7(3)+2(5) \\ =21+10 \\ =31 \end{gathered}$

When a=5 and b=3, we have

$\begin{gathered} c=7(5)+2(3) \\ =35+6 \\ =41 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer:

The option D is correct.

31 and 41

What is this please help

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Absolute value means how far are you from zero on the number line.

absolute value of | -18| for example is 18

this means that you are at -18 on the number line that is 18 points away from zero.

and absolute value of |18 | is 18

this means that you are at point 18 on the positive direction on the number line. That is 18 points away from zero.

Which letter represents the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation of a line: y = mx + b?

sergey [27]

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b

m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

b=y-intercept (the value of y when x=zero)
