What is the unit rate for 180 miles in 3 hours

Hello

Answer:

60 miles per hour

I have given a detailed explanation of the logic behind this.

Explanation:

Consider the structure of the wording: "miles per hour"

The word "per" means for each. There is you clue.

Each is, one of and one of is unit measurement

So the controlling element in this question is that you need to convert the 3 hours into 1 hour.

Using ratio properties

180

miles

hour

We need to 'force' the left hand side into the same form as the right. That is: we need to convert the denominator into 1 and see what happens to the numerator.

⇒

180

⇒

So the unit rate of speed is

miles

per

−−−

hour

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 $x = -1$
