For this case we have the following function:
 f (x) = (5x + 10) / (x ^ 2 + 7x + 10)
 
 Let's rewrite the function:
 f (x) = (5x + 10) / ((x + 2) (x + 5))

 f (x) = (5 (x + 2)) / ((x + 2) (x + 5))
 We set the denominator to zero to see the values of x for which it is not defined:
 (x + 2) (x + 5) = 0
 
 From here, we get:
 x = -2
 
x = -5

 There is a removable discontinuity at x = -2, since by rewriting the function we have:
 f (x) = 5 / (x + 5)
 
 Answer:
 
the removable discontinuity of f (x) is located at:
 
x = -2

<span>The correct answer is x= - 2.

Explanation:
A removable discontinuity happens where y=(0/0). To find this, we first factor the numerator and denominator.

For our numerator, we factor out the GCF; 5 is the GCF. Factoring 5 out of 5x leaves x, and factoring 5 out of 10 leaves 2, which gives us 5(x+2).

To factor the denominator, we want factors of c, 10, that sum to b, 7. 5*2=10 and 5+2=7, so this gives us (x+5)(x+2).

Next we find the common factors in the numerator and denominator; (x+2) is the common factor. We set this equal to 0: x+2=0. Now we solve for x by subtracting 2 from each side: x+2-2=0-2; x= - 2.  </span>

Find the constant rate of change for each linear function and interpret its meaning
Marina CMI [18]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.

(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}

In a right triangle ΔABC, the length of leg AC = 5 ft and the hypotenuse AB = 13 ft. Find: Chapter Reference b The length of the
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that length of leg AC = 5 ft and the hypotenuse AB = 13 ft.

Using pythagoras theorem

(AB)^2=(BC)^2+(AC)^2

(13)^2=(BC)^2+(5)^2

169=(BC)^2+25

BC=12

\sin A=\frac{\text{perpendicular}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\sin A=\frac{BC}{AB}

A=\sin ^{-1}\frac{12}{13}

A=67.38

Bisector divides the angle in two equal parts, therefore,

A'=\frac{67.38}{2} =33.69

In triangle ACD.

\cos A'=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\cos A'=\frac{AC}{AD}

\cos (33.69^{\circ})=\frac{5}{AD}

0.832=\frac{5}{AD}

AD=\frac{5}{0.832} =6.009\approx 6.01

Therefore the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6.01.
