1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
3 0

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

One and one tenth decimal number
Elden [556K]
Hi there!

One and one tenth looks hard but that would be because it's in word form.
In standard, or decimal form, this would be 1.1.
The first 1 represents the whole number and the second 1 represents the tenths.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anymore help! :)

Which statement is valid when a circumscribed circle of an acute triangle is
Anni [7]
<h3>There are two answers: Choice C, Choice D</h3>

Explanation:

For any acute triangle, the center of the circle is always inside the triangle.

For any right triangle, the center of the circle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle.

For any obtuse triangle, the center of the circle is outside the triangle.

----------

Let's look at the answer choices more closely

A. False. This is only true if we have a right triangle as mentioned earlier.

B. False. This describes an inscribed circle.

C. True. As stated earlier.

D. True. This is based on how the circumscribed triangle is defined. It is set up to be the circle that goes through all three vertex points of a triangle. In other words, it is the smallest circle to completely enclose the given triangle.

The expression 120-15x represents how many invitations Luanne has to address after x days. The expression 120 + 15(7-x) represen
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

number of invitations luanne  has to address after x days = 120-15x

number of invitations  Darius has to address after x days =  120 + 15(7-x)

so, if the number of invitations should be the same for both of them,

we have to equate their number of invitations

120-15x =  120 + 15(7-x)

subtracting 120 from both the sides,

-15x = 15(7-x) = 105 -15x

adding we 15x on both sides, we wont find any solution for x.

so, this isnt possible or the question must be wrong.
