Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

Answer:

  • Domain: All the real values except x = 2 and x = 4: R - {2, 4}
  • Holes: x = 2
  • VA, vertical asymptores: x = 4
  • HA: horizontal asymptotes: there are not horizontal asymptotes
  • OA: oblique asymptotes: x + 6 [note that OH does not stand for any known feature, and so it is understood that it was intended to write OA]
  • Roots: x = 2
  • Y-intercept: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. <u>Given</u>:

f(x)=\frac{x^3-8}{x^2-6x+8}

  • Note that the number 8 in the numerator is not part of the power.
  • Type of function: rational function

2. <u>Domain</u>: is the set of x-values for which the function is defined.

The given function is defined for all x except those for which the denominator equals 0.

  • Denominator:  x² -6x + 8 = 0
  • Solve for x:

        Factor. (x - 4 )(x - 2) = 0

        Zero product property: (x - 4) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0

        x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

        x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

  • Domain:

        All the real values except x = 2 and x = 4: x ∈ R / x ≠ 2 and x ≠ 4.

3. <u>Holes</u>:

The holes on the graph of a rational function are at those x-values for which both the numerator and denominator are zero.

  • Find the values for which the numerator is zero:

        Numerator: x³ - 8 = 0

        Factor using difference of cubes property:

                   a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)

                   x³ - 8 = (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0

        Zero product property:  (x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0

                    x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2                    

                    x² + 2x + 4 = 0 (this has not real solution)

  • The values for which the denominator is zero were determined above: x = 2 and x = 4.

  • Conclusion: for x = 2 both numerator and denominator equal 0, so this is a hole.

4. <u>VA: Vertical asymptotes</u>.

The vertical asymptotes on the graph of a rational function are the vertical lines for which only the denominator (and not the numerator) equals zero.

  • In the previous part it was determined that happens when x = 4.

5. <u>HA: Horizontal asymptotes</u>.

In rational functions, if the numerator is a higher degree polynomial than the denominator, there is no horizontal asymptote.

6. <u>OA: oblique asymptotes</u>

  • Find the quotient and the remainder.

                       x + 6

                  _______________

x² - 6x + 8 )   x³ + 0x² + 0x - 8

                  - x³ + 6x² - 8x

                   ___________

                          6 x² -   8x -  8

                        - 6x² + 36x - 48

                        _____________

                                    28x  - 56

Result: (x + 6) + (28x - 56) / (x² - 6x + 8)

  • Find limit x → ∞

\lim_{x \to \infty}(x + 6) + \frac{28x-56}{x^2-6x+8}=x+6

<u>7. Roots</u>:

Roots are the values for which f(x) = 0.

That happens when the numerator equals 0, and the denominator is not 0.

As determined earlier: x³ - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 2.

8. <u>Y-Intercept</u>

The y-intercepts of any function are the y-values when x = 0

  • Substitute x = 0 into the function:

         f(x)=\frac{x^3-8}{x^2-6x+8}=\frac{0^3-8}{0^2-6(0)+8}}=\frac{-8}{8} =-1

Can somebody please help me with question number 1
inysia [295]

Answer:

1a: 6.283

b: 51.313

c: 285.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a sector = (angle/360)πr²

1a

Area=(45/360)π(4²)=6.283

b

Area=(120/360)π(7²)=51.313

c

Area=(270/360)π(11²)=285.1

I don’t really understand what to do on these questions and could you tell me the ratio to solve the rest?
SVEN [57.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming 10 cups of lemon-lime soda and 5 cups of orange soda make 15 cups of punch, we can write proportions for each problem.

x / 130 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 86.67 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 130 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 43.33 cups orange soda

x / 65 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 43.33 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 65 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 21.67 cups orange soda

x / 195 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 130 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 195 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 65 cups orange soda

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money, in dollars, in a savings account after x years is given by  M(x) = 10000(1.03)^{x}

This above equation represents that $10000 becomes M(x) after x years at a rate of interest 3% compounded in each year.

Therefore, the value in the expression 1.03 represents that there is a 3 percent increase in the savings account each year.

So, the correct option is B. (Answer)
