X^2-16/(x+4)(x-5) x=-4 x=1 continuous at x=-4?

Mathematics
1 answer:
const2013 [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Yes, its continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula:

x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y),

And we know that 16=4^2, so we have:

\frac{x^2-16}{(x+4)(x-5)}=\frac{(x-4)(x+4)}{(x+4)(x-5)}=\frac{x-4}{x-5}

So for x=-4 we have -8/-9,i.e, it is 8/9, so it is continuous.

I dont know what is x=1, because for x=1 the function has value 3/4.

But function is not continuous in x=5 becaus for that x we will get 1/0, and that is not definite.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,6) and (5,6)
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

m=0 (m is the slope)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=6-6/1-5

m=0/4

m=0

*Note: If the zero is in the denominator (on the bottom) the slope is undefined (UND).

What is the equation of a line that its parallel to -3x+4y=4 and passes through the point (4,0)?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

y=3/4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so to be parallel to an equation of another line, the line must have the same slope but a different y-intercept. First, you need to find the slope of the equation -3x+4y=4. The equation must be in y=mx+b format, so you first move -3x to the right by adding it on both sides, leaving you with 4y=3x+4. Next, you divide 4y by 4 in order to isolate y and do that on the other side. Now, you have y=3/4x+1.

To find the equation of the new line, you must put the point and slope into point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1). In the point (4, 0), 4 would be x1 and 0 would be y1. so, the new equation is y-0=3/4 (x-4). now, distrubute the 3/4, leaving you with y=3/4x-3. This is correct since the slope remains the same in both equations with a different y-intercept. To check deeper, you could place point (4, 0) on a graph and then rise 3, run 4 until you get the line :) hope this helps

The area of a square is 36cm2. What are the dimensions of the square? You must show your work. Pls tell me what the dimensions o
Helga [31]

Answer:

6 cm by 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for area of a square is A = s² where A = area and s is the length of one side. We know that A = 36 so:

36 = s²

√36 = s

s = ±6

Note that s = -6 is an extraneous solution because you can't have a side length of -6, therefore the answer is s = 6 so the dimensions of the square are 6 cm by 6 cm.
