C is the correct answer. A line is proportional if it is a straight line that passes through the origin, and while it does pass through the origin, it isn’t completely straight.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The excluded values are any values of x that make the function undefined
Given
The denominator of the rational function cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be.
(x + 4)(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
x = - 4, x = 2, x = 5 are the excluded values
(C) "serpentine"
Serpentine is a winding word. The phrase would read "The mountain road was distinctly serpentine: it twisted back and forth along the contours of the hillside" if this term were added to the text.
The comma denotes that the meaning of the omitted phrase will be clarified in the second clause of the sentence. Because a winding road does actually curve "back and forth," the word "serpentine" matches the text. The answer is not (A).
A panoramic view is one that encompasses the entire surrounding region. (B) is the wrong answer. Precipitous refers to a steep slope. The answer is not (D). The term "circumscribed" describes something that is restrained or encircled by a line. The answer is not (E). Moving backward is referred to as retrograding.
