What is the value of discontinuity of x^2+8x+4/x^2-x-6? Choices:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

First of all, let's check the denominator.

x^2-x-6 \ \ \text{ *** How to factorise it ...? ***}\\\\\text{*** The product of the roots is -6=-2*3 and their sum is 1 ***}\\\\x^2-x-6=x^2-3x+2x-6=x(x-3)+2(x-3)=(x+2)(x-3)

Now, let's see the numerator.

x^2+8x+4 \ \text{ *** -2 is not a zero as ***}\\\\(-2)^2+8*(-2)+4=4-16+8=-4\\\\\text{*** 3 is not a zero as ***}\\\\3^2+8*3+4=9+24+4=37\\

So we cannot factorise the numerator with (x+2) or (x-3)

Then, -2 and 3 are the the discontinuities of the expression.

There is only -2 in the list, this is the correct answer.

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

A 5×6 rectangular grid with unit cells is given. Let A(0, 0) and B(5, 6) be the bottom-left corner and top-right corner, respect
harina [27]

Answer:

462 paths from A to B

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, a possible question is to determine the number of possible paths on the grid map.

The first step is to represent the grid map itself. (See attachment 1)

From the question, we understand that:

  • Only right movement is allowed in the horizontal direction
  • Only up movement is allowed in the vertical direction

There are a several number of ways to navigate through. However, one possible way is in attachment 2

In attachment 2,

  • R represents the right movement
  • U represents the up movement

And we have:

R = 5     and    U = 6

The number of possible paths (N) is then calculated as:

N = \frac{(N + U)!}{N!U!}

Substitute values for N and U

N = \frac{(5 + 6)!}{5!6!}

N = \frac{11!}{5!6!}

N = \frac{39916800}{120 * 720}

N = \frac{39916800}{86400}

N = 462

<em>Hence, there are 462 possible paths from A to B</em>

the vertex of this parabola is at (2,-1). when the y-value is 0, the x-value is 5. what is the coefficient of the squared term i
timama [110]
We know that

case a)
the equation of the vertical parabola write in vertex form is
y=a(x-h)²+k,
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
y=a(x-2)²-1
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
0=a(5-2)²-1
0=a(3)²-1
0=9a-1

Add 1 to both sides:
0+1=9a-1+1
1=9a
Divide both sides by 9:
1/9 = 9a/9
1/9 = a
y=(1/9)(x-2)²-1

the answer is
a=1/9


case b)
the equation of the horizontal parabola write in vertex form is
x=a(y-k)²+h, 
where (h, k) is the vertex.

Using our vertex, we have:
x=a(y+1)²+2, 
We know that the parabola goes through (5, 0),

so
we can use these coordinates to find the value of a:
5=a(0+1)²+2
5=a+2
a=5-2
a=3
x=3(y+1)²+2

the answer is
a=3

A certain radioactive material decays in such a way that the mass in kilograms remaining after t years is given by the function
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

It is important to note that half - life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce by half its original size.

Given the radioactive decay formula as

m(t)=120e−0.018t

Where

t= 50 years

m(t) is the remaining amount

Substitute the value of t

m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^0^1^8^(^5^0^)

m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^9

Find the exponential value

m(t) = 48.788399

m(t) = 48.79 kilograms to 2 decimal places

Thus, the mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms
