Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a function :

f(x) = (x²+4)/(x²-x-2)

We have to explain why the function is not continuous at x = 2.

Simplify the denominator of the function.

x²-x-2 = x²+x-2x-2

x²-x-2 = (x+1)(x-2)

Putting this simplification of denominator in above function we get,

f(x) =  (x²+4)/(x+1)(x-2)

The domain is the all possible values of x in for which the function is defined.

when we put x=2, the denominator is zero and function is undifined.

So, the function is not  continuous at x = 2.

Choice a  is correct.

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Make the denominator equal to zero and solve for x:

Factor the quadratic equation. Find two number whose sum is -1 and whose product is -2. Then:

x^{2}-x-2=0\\(x-2)(x+1)=0\\x=2\\x=-1

Then, as you can see the value x=2 makes the denominator equal to zero and the division by zero does not exist. Therefore you can conclude that the function shown in the problem is not defined at x=2

The answer is the option a.

Answer:

t = 1, but please check to see if I correctly interpreted your formatting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of the question is too confusing.

I'll assume this is the equation to be solved:

<u>16−2t=t+9+4t</u>

<u></u>

16−2t=t+9+4t

16-9 = t + 2t + 4t

7 = 7t

t = 1

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.42×10^34 molecules/min

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Multiply the various factors, along with the unit conversion (60 s/min).

... (3.35×10^25 molecules/L) × (2.2×10^7 L/s) × (60 s/min)

... = (3.35×2.2×60)×10^(25+7) molecules/min

... = 442.2×10^32 molecules/min

... ≈ 4.42×10^34 molecules/min

likoan [24]

Answer:

\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mrs. Backstrom built a small wooden box for her cat. The box has a length of one and one tenth feet, a width of 1.6 feet, and a height of 2 feet. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

Let us convert one and one tenth feet into decimal.

1\frac{1}{10}=\frac{11}{10}=1.1

Since the cat box is in form of cuboid, so its volume will be equal to the product of length, width and height as:

\text{Volume of cat box}=1.10\text{ ft}\times 1.6\text{ ft}\times 2\text{ ft}

\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3

Therefore, the volume of the cat box is 3.53 cubic feet.
