What does equivalent mean when we are talking about like terms?

Answer:

When we're talking about like terms,

here's an example for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

(3<em>k</em> + 2<em>h</em>)^

= 9<em>k</em>^ + <u>6<em>hk</em> + 6<em>hk</em><em> </em></u>+ 4<em>h</em>^

= 9<em>k</em>^ + <u>1</u><u>2</u><em><u>hk</u></em> + 4<em>h</em>^

see the underlined terms?

they are <u>like</u><u> </u><u>terms</u><u>.</u> like terms can be solved, while unlike terms can't.

like terms also contain the same variables with the same power.

example: 2<em>x</em> and -3/5<em>x</em>

i hope this helps you!

Find the values of x (if any) at which f(x)= x+1/x^2-1 is not continuous. If so, is the discontinuity removable?

Mkey [24]

$f(x)=\dfrac{x+1}{x^2-1}$ has two points of discontinuity at $x=\pm1$ , where $x^2-1=0$ .

We have

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

so as long as $x\neq-1$ , we can cancel $x+1$ and be left with $\dfrac1{x-1}$ . Then as $x\to-1$ , we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}f(x)=\lim_{x\to-1}\frac1{x-1}=-\frac12$

The limit exists, so the discontinuity at -1 is removable (so definitely not C or D).

Meanwhile,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1}\frac1{x-1}$

does not exist, so the discontinuity at 1 is non-removable, making A the correct answer.

A function $f$ has a horizontal asymptote of $y = -4,$ a vertical asymptote of $x = 3,$ and an $x$-intercept at $(1,0).$ Part (a

Masja [62]

1. $f$ has a horizontal asymptote at $y=-4$

This means that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\pm\infty}f(x)-(-4)=0$

(for at least one of these limits)

2. $f$ has a vertical asymptote at $x=3$

This means that $f$ has a non-removable discontinuity at $x=3$ . Since $f$ is some rational function, there must be a factor of $x-3$ in its denominator.

3. $f$ has an $x$ -intercept at (1, 0)

This means $f(1)=0$ .

(a) With

$f(x)=\dfrac{ax+b}{x+c}$

the second point above suggests $c=-3$ . The first point tells us that

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\pm\infty}\frac{ax+b}{x-3}+4=0=\lim_{x\to\pm\infty}\frac{ax+b+4x-3}{x-3}=0$

In order for the limit to be 0, the denominator's degree should exceed the numerator's degree; the only way for this to happen is if $a=-4$ so that the linear terms vanish.

The third point tells us that

$f(1)=\dfrac{a+b}{1-3}=0\implies a=-b\implies b=4$

So

$f(x)=\dfrac{-4x+4}{x-3}$

(b) Since

$f(x)=\dfrac{rx+s}{2x+t}=\dfrac12\dfrac{rx+s}{x+\frac t2}$

we find that $\dfrac t2=-3\implies t=-6$ , and $r=a=-4$ and $s=b=4$ .
