4 will be added to make the given expression a perfect square

Further explanation:

Given term is:

$x^2-4x$

As there is a square term and a linear term involving x, the expression will be completed using the formula

$a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$

We know that

a^2=x^2

so,

$2ab=4x\\2xb=4x\\b=\frac{4x}{2x}\\b=2$

Adding (2)^2

$x^2-4x+(2)^2$

$x^2-4x+4$

4 will be added to make the given expression a perfect square

plain why the function is discontinuous at the given number a. (Select all that apply.) f(x) = x2 − 2x x2 − 4 if x ≠ 2 1 if x =

ElenaW [278]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\dfrac{x^2-2x}{x^2-4}&,if\ \ x\neq 2 \\ 1&,if\ \ x=2\end{matrix}\right.$

We have to explain that why the function is discontinuous at x=2

We know that if function is continuous at x=a then LHL=RHL=f(a).

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

LHL=Left hand limit when x <2

Substitute x=2-h

where h is small positive value >0

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{2-h+2}$

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2-h}{4-h}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Right hand limit =RHL when x> 2

Substitute

x=2+h

$\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}f(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{2+h+2}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{2+h}{4+h}$

$=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

LHL=RHL= $\frac{1}{2}$

f(2)=1

$LHL=RHL\neq f(2)$

Hence, function is discontinuous at x=2
