Find the domain and range of f(x)= (2x+6) / ((x^2)-x-12)

Mathematics
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to determine the domain and range of this analytically, you first need to factor the numerator and denominator to see if there is a common factor that can be reduced away.  If there is, this affects the domain.  The domain are the values in the denominator that the function covers as far as the x-values go.  If we factor both the numerator and denominator, we get this:

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

Since there is a common factor in the numerator and the denominator, (x + 3), we can reduce those away.  That type of discontinuity is called a removeable discontinuity and creates a hole in the graph at that value of x.  The other factor, (x - 4), does not cancel out.  This is called a vertical asymptote and affects the domain of the function.  Since the denominator of a rational function (or any fraction, for that matter!) can't EVER equal 0, we see that the denominator of this function goes to 0 where x = 4.  That means that the function has to split at that x-value.  It comes in from the left, from negative infinity and goes down to negative infinity at x = 4.  Then the graph picks up again to the right of x = 4 and comes from positive infinity and goes to positive infinity.  The domain is:

(-∞, 4) U (4, ∞)

The range is (-∞, ∞)

If you're having trouble following the wording, refer to the graph of the function on your calculator and it should become apparent.

10. Which of the following statements are TRUE?
Masja [62]

Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A triangular pyramid has the same number of faces as vertices: 5

2) C - The sum is 5 + 6 =11

3) D - Euler's Formula tells us that if we add the number of faces and vertices together and then subtract the number of edges, we will get 2 as our answer.

On a business trip, Jon must drive from his office to a clients's office, a distance of 216 miles. He sets off a 8 a.m. Suppose
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

b.) f(t) = 216 - 66t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we consider t and time travelled in hours and we are given that the average speed of Jon is 66mph, then we can calculate the distance travelled at any point in time by Jon.

Distance = Speed * time.

Distance = 66 * t = 66t.

Since total distance from clients house 216 miles and distance travelled by Jon at any point in time is 66t, then remaining distance to be covered from the clients house, that is distance between Jon and the clients house becomes:

Distance from client house = 216 - 66t.
