Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the easiest way to go about this is to choose on of the answers and fill it in to see if it's correct. Since you only have 4 possible answers, there's no need to actually solve this.
In the question it already tells us that x does not equal 0, so that answer is automatically not correct. Now your down to three possible answers.
Start with -3. First, fill in the x with -3 for what the equation is supposed to equal. That gives you 3/-3. Simplified, that is -1. Now put -3 in for the x in the equation. That gives you 3/2(-3) + 1/2. After running that through your calculator or solving it, you end up with 0. So -3 is not your answer.
Next we'll try the 2. Do as we did last time, and fill in the x on the answer part of the equation. You now have 3/2. That doesn't simplify so it stays as is. Now for the equation. That makes it 3/2(2) +1/2. Put that in your calculator or solve, and you get 5/4. 5/4 does not equal 3/2 so 2 is not your answer.
That leaves 3. You can go ahead and run through the steps above using 3 if you want to double check, but since it's the only answer left, there isn't really a need to.
Hope this helps :)
The hole of a function is described as the x-y coordinate wherein the denominator and numerator equates to zero. For the function f(x)= x+3/(x+4)(x+3), the common polynomial given is x-3 which can be equated to zero. Hence, 0 divided 0 means a hole in the function. If x+3 = 0, the hole of the function is at x = -3. ^w^
We know that the pet Guinea gained 8 ounces in one month.
The question asks for the weight gained by Guinea in also one month.
Since both the described situation and the question both represent the same weight gained in the same duration, therefore, the required integer will be 8.
Answer: 8 ounces.
