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 $x = -1$

When we first learn arithmetic, we focus on working with whole numbers. Then, we extend our understanding to fractions and negat

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

I don't think I can remember every skill I was taught through the years but in Kindergarten we used Number Sense so we could understand the meaning of more and less also there's estimation and PEMDAS. I've also learned how to round up so that the solution is at least around those numbers if the skill is to be applied.

hope that helps

Three cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement. Find the probability that the first card is an ace,

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$4.82\cdot 10^{-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of cart, we have:

a = 4 (aces)

t = 4 (three)

j = 4 (jacks)

And the total number of cards in the deck is

n = 52

So, the probability of drawing an ace as first cart is:

$p(a)=\frac{a}{n}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}=0.0769$

At the second drawing, the ace is not replaced within the deck. So the number of cards left in the deck is

$n-1=51$

Therefore, the probability of drawing a three at the 2nd draw is

$p(t)=\frac{t}{n-1}=\frac{4}{51}=0.0784$

Then, at the third draw, the previous 2 cards are not replaced, so there are now

$n-2=50$

cards in the deck. So, the probability of drawing a jack is

$p(j)=\frac{j}{n-2}=\frac{4}{50}=0.08$

Therefore, the total probability of drawing an ace, a three and then a jack is:

$p(atj)=p(a)\cdot p(j) \cdot p(t)=0.0769\cdot 0.0784 \cdot 0.08 =4.82\cdot 10^{-4}$

Enter your answer below, do not use spaces

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6(a +2b +3c)

2. (6 x 1a) + (6 x 2b) + (6 x 3c)

*Note that I put a 1 in front of the a. I did this because a means there is 1a so by putting the 1 there, it makes it easier to see that 6 x 1= 6, therefore we now have 6a.

3. Answer:

(6a) + (12b) + (18c)

* If you ever have an equation like this that has two of the same letters such as if 12b was 12a, then you could combine those since they are like terms. But since we have three different letters, this is the most simplified answer. Hope this helps!!(: If you have any questions just let me know!
