Answer: $8\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for the distance is:

$d=V*t$

Where "V" is speed and "t" is time.

Let be:

$t_1$ : time of her trip from her home to the library.

$t_2$ : time of her trip from the library to her home.

$V_1$ : speed on her trip from her home to the library.

$V_2$ : speed on her trip from the library to her home

We can identify that:

$t_1=20\ min=\frac{(20\ min)(1\ h)}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{3}\ h\\\\V_1=V_2+8\ mph\\\\t_2=30\ min=\frac{(30\ min)(1\ h)}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{2}\ h$

Since the distance she rode on the both trips are equal:

$V_1*t_1=V_2*t_2\\\\(V_2+8)(\frac{1}{3})=(V_2)(\frac{1}{2})$

Solving for $V_2$ , we get:

$2(V_2+8)(\frac{1}{3})=3(V_2)\\\\2V_2+16=3V_2\\\\V_2=16\ mph$

Therefore, the distance for her home to the library is:

$d=(16\ mph)(\frac{1}{2}\ h)\\\\d=8\ miles$

a) The given function is

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

The domain refers to all values of x for which the function is defined.

The function is defined for

$x^4+x^3-4x^2-4\ne0$

This implies that;

$x\ne -2.69,x\ne 1.83$

b) The vertical asymptotes are x-values that makes the function undefined.

To find the vertical asymptote, equate the denominator to zero and solve for x.

$x^4+x^3-4x^2-4=0$

This implies that;

$x= -2.69,x=1.83$

c) The roots are the x-intercepts of the graph.

To find the roots, we equate the function to zero and solve for x.

$\frac{x^2-4}{x^4+x^3-4x^2-4}=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-4=0$

$x^2=4$

$x=\pm \sqrt{4}$

$x=\pm2$

The roots are $x=-2,x=2$

d) The y-intercept is where the graph touches the y-axis.

To find the y-inter, we substitute;

$x=0$ into the function

$f(0)=\frac{0^2-4}{0^4+0^3-4(0)^2-4}$

$f(0)=\frac{-4}{-4}=1$

e) to find the horizontal asypmtote, we take limit to infinity

$lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{x^2-4}{x^4+x^3-4x^2-4}=0$

The horizontal asymtote is $y=0$

f) The greatest common divisor of both the numerator and the denominator is 1.

There is no common factor of the numerator and the denominator which is at least a linear factor.

Therefore the function has no holes.

g) The given function is a proper rational function.

There is no oblique asymptote.
