Answer:

All real numbers except for 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=\frac{x}{x-5}$

The domain of rational functions is determined by the denominator. The denominator cannot equal zero since if they do, the function will be undefined.

Thus, we need to find the zero(s) of the denominator to determine the domain.

$x-5=0$

$x=5$

Therefore, the domain of the rational function is all real numbers except for 5.

In set builder notation, this is:

$\{x|x\in \mathbb{R}, x\neq 5\}$

Answer:

Part A) Kesley is correct

Part B) g'(x)=3x2-2x-4

Part C) Graph attached

Part D) Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Kelsey is correct because no. of 0s in a 3rd degree polynomial be 3. which means the no. of intercepts will be 3. Thus Ray is incorrect as no. of 0s and x-intercept are similar thing.

Further a graph is attached of g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4 to describe the key features of g(x), including the end behavior. We can see that there are 3 x-intercepts at (2,0), (1,0) and (-2,0) which validates the point of Kelsey that the function can have as many as 3 zeros only because it is 3rd degree polynomial.

Part B)

As the second part of the new coaster is a parabola. To create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

finding derivative of g(x) picked in Part A) i.e.

g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4

g'(x)=3x2-2x-4

Graph of above is also attache.

From the graph we can see that its downwards directed parabola having vertex at (0.33, -4.33)

x-intercept at -0.87 and 1.53

y-intercept at (0,-4)

The axis of symmetry equation is a vertical line around which the parabola is symmetric is given by equation of a vertical line that passes through the vertex i.e. x=0.33

Part C)

Graph 3 is also attached.

Part D)

For a 15 seconds ad campaign, following features can be included:

Roller coaster that have a three rise

two sharp dips

the 2nd dip goes more deeper than the first one!
