Answer:

The discontinuity is x = 4

There no holes

The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = 4

The x intercept is 2

The equation of the horizontal asymptote is y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the problem

∵ f(x)=\frac{x-2}{x-4}

- To find the point of discontinuity put the denominator = 0 and find

 the value of x

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ x - 4 = 0 ⇒ add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 4

* The discontinuity is x = 4

- A hole occurs when a number is both a zero of the numerator

 and denominator

∵ The numerator is x - 2

∵ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 2

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ x - 4 = 0 ⇒ add 4 to both sides

∴ x = 4

∵ There is no common number makes the numerator and denominator

   equal to 0

∴ There no holes

- Vertical asymptotes are vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes  

  of the denominator of the function

∵ The zero of the denominator is x = 4

∴ The equation of the vertical asymptote is x = 4

- x- intercept is the values of x which make f(x) = 0, means the

 intersection points between the graph and the x-axis

∵ f(x) = 0

∴ \frac{x-2}{x-4}=0 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ x - 2 = 0 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ x = 2

* The x intercept is 2

- If the highest power of the numerator = the highest power of the

 denominator, then the equation of the horizontal asymptote is

 y = The leading coeff. of numerator/leading coeff. of denominator

∵ The numerator is x - 2

∵ The denominator is x - 4

∵ The leading coefficient of the numerator is 1

∵ The leading coefficient of the denominator is 1

∴ y = 1/1 = 1

* The equation of the horizontal asymptote is y = 1

Barbara sells iced tea for $1.49 per bottle and water for $1.25 per bottle. She wrote an equation to find the number of drinks s
ipn [44]
The way she has the equation set up, she is only selling 1 bottle of tea and x bottles of water. So, she basically forgot to put the variable in that represents the number of bottles of tea sold

the way it should be : x = # of bottles of water, and y = # of bottles of tea
1.25x + 1.49y = 100
