Suppose that Sahil knows that 45 people with ages of 18 to 29 voted. Without using a calculator, he quickly says then 135 people
with ages of 30 to 49 voted. Is he correct? How might Sahil have come up with his answer so quickly?

Answer:
x=-2.5 if the function is
Step-by-step explanation:
has discontinuities when the denominator is 0.
You will either have a hole or a vertical asymptote depending on what happens to the numerator after you find when the bottom is 0.
That is whatever you found that makes the bottom 0, if it makes the top also 0 then you will have a hole at x=the number that made the bottom 0.
If it makes the top anything other than 0, then it is a vertical asymptote at x=the number you found that made the bottom 0.
Let's do this now.
When is -4x-10 equal to 0?
We have to solve the equation:
-4x-10=0
Add 10 on both sides:
-4x=10
Divide both sides by -4:
x=10/-4
Reduce by dividing top and bottom by 2:
x=5/-2
x=-5/2
or
x=-2.5 (if you want decimal form)
Now does it make the top 0? This is the deciding factor on whether you have a hole at x=-2.5 or a vertical asymptote at x=-2.5.
Let's see.
8(-2.5)-3=-23
Since the top is not 0 at x=-2.5 then you have a vertical asymptote at x=-2.5.
If the top were 0, then you would have had a hole at x=-2.5.
Answer:
x = -24

There are several ways to answer this. All involve finding a way to calculate the area of shapes we're familiar with and using those areas to find the area of this unusual shape. I've included three different ways, all of which yield the same total area.
In the first case, you cut the shape into two shapes by drawing a perpendicular line from point C to segment AE. That will give you a square and a trapezoid. The area of the square is (2 m)(5 m) = 10 m², and the area of the trapezoid is (0.5)(9 m - 5 m)(4 m + 4 m - 2 m) = 12 m². So the area of the entire shape is 10 m² + 12 m² = 22 m².
In the second case, you cut the shape into two shapes by drawing a perpendicular line from point C to segment AB. That will give you a rectangle and a triangle. The area of the rectangle is (2 m)(9 m) = 18 m². The area of the triangle is (0.5)(4 m - 2 m)(9 m - 5 m) = 4 m². So the area of the entire shape is 18 m² + 4 m² = 22 m².
In the third case, you can imagine that this shape is a piece of a larger rectangle with sides 4 m and 9 m with an area of 36 m². The area of this shape would be the difference between 36 m² and the area of the imaginary trapezoid that fills in rest of the rectangle. That trapezoid would have an area of (0.5)(4 m - 2 m)(9 m + 5 m) = 14 m². So the area of the shape given would be 36 m² - 14 m² = 22 m².
In any case, the area of the shape is 22 m².
