At what point is the function y=(x+3)/(x^(2)-7x+12) continuous

If a function is defined as

h(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}

where both f(x),g(x) are continuous functions, then h(x) is also continuous where defined, i.e. where g(x)\neq0

So, in your case, this function is continous everywhere, except where

x^2-7x+12=0

To solve this equation, we can use the formula x^2-sx+p=0

It means that, if the leading terms is 1, then the x coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the roots, and the constant term is the product of the roots.

So, we're looking for two terms whose sum is 7, and whose product is 12. These numbers are easily found to be 3 and 4.

So, this function is continuous for every real number different than 3 or 4.

The scatter plot shows the profit by the month for a new company during its first year of operation. Which equation most closely
kondor19780726 [428]

The equation most closely models the line of best fit for the scatter plot is y = 2.5x

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

A line is the distance between two points. The equation of a line in point-slope form is given as y =mx + b

  • m is the slope
  • b is the intercept


Using the coordinate points on the line (3, 5000) and (9, 20000)

Get the slope

Slope = 20000-5000/9-3
Slope = 15000/6 = 2500

Determine the y-intercept

5000 = 2500(3) + b

b = 5000 - 7500
b = -2500

Determine the equation

y = 2.5x - 2.5

Hence the equation most closely models the line of best fit for the scatter plot is y = 2.5x

Divide the exponent inside the "√" by the exponent outside:
12/4=3, 16/4=4
so the answer is x³y^4
B is the answer.
