Identify the vertical asymptotes of f(x) = 2 over quantity x squared plus 3 x minus 10.

1 answer:

3 0

The function is:
f ( x ) = 2 / ( x² + 3 x - 10 )
x² + 3 x - 10 = x² + 5 x - 2 x - 10 = x ( x + 5 ) - 2 ( x + 5 ) =
= ( x + 5 ) ( x - 2 )
x + 5 = 0 => x = - 5
x - 2 = 0 => x = 2
Answer:
The vertical asymptotes are: x = - 5 and x = 2.

pickupchik [31]

Divide total full time employees by 20 to find how many groups of 20 there are, then multiply that number by 3 to find total part time employees:

250,000 / 20 = 12,500

12,500 x 3 = 37,500 part time employees.

Answer:

3.5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: both \: squares \\ = {2}^{2} + {3}^{2} \\ = 4 + 9 \\ = 13 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 + 3) \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times3 \times 3 \\ = 5 \times 1+ 1.5 \times 3 \\ = 5 + 4.5 \\ = 9.5 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ Area \: of \:shaded \: region \\ = Area \: of \: both \: squares\\ - Area \: of \: both \: right \: \triangle s \\ = 13 - 9.5 \\ \purple { \boxed{ \bold{Area \: of \:shaded \: region = 3.5 \: {cm}^{2} }}}$
