Answer:

Function is discontinuous at

x=0 (Hole)

x=-3 (Vertical asymptote)

x=-2 (Vertical asymptote)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x^3+5x^2+6x}$

We need to identity the discontinuity of the function. As we know function is discontinuous where it is not defined.

So, The function is discontinuous at hole, asymptote and break point.

$f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x^3+5x^2+6x}$

$f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x(x^2+5x+6)}$

$f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x(x+3)(x+2)}$

For hole, we will cancel like factor from numerator and denominator.

At x=0 we get hole.

For vertical asymptote, we set denominator to 0

x+3=0 and x+2=0

Vertical asymptote:

x=-3 and x=-2

Function is discontinuous at

x=0 (Hole)

x=-3 (Vertical asymptote)

x=-2 (Vertical asymptote)

Answer: hole at x = 0, asymptotes at x = -2 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5x}{x^{3} + 5x^{2} + 6x}$

= $\frac{5x}{x(x^{2}+5x + 6)}$

= $\frac{5x}{x(x+2)(x+3)}$

x ≠ 0 ---> the x cancels out so this is a hole

x + 2 ≠ 0 ---> x ≠ -2 ---> asymptote at x = -2

x + 3 ≠ 0 ---> x ≠ -3 ---> asymptote at x = -3

Which is the best first step to write this in standard form?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Set the function equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form of the Quadratic Equation

The form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

is called the standard form of a quadratic equation. It can be clearly identified the terms of a second-degree polynomial equated to 0.

The equation is given in the form:

$2(x-4)^2-3=8$

And we need to operate the expression to make it look like a standard form. The first logical step should be to set the function equal to 0 and then start to operate the resulting expression. It can be done by subtracting 8 on both sides of the equation:

$2(x-4)^2-3-8=0$

Answer: Set the function equal to 0

Q ,# 13 Graph the function Y = - X + X ^2

GalinKa [24]

We have the following function that is a quadratic function:

$y=-x+x^2$

So the graph of this function is shown in the figure below. This is a parabola as you can see. The roots of this functions, that is, the x-intercepts are:

$y=-x+x^2 \\ y=x(x-1) \\ \\ x_{1}=0 \ and \ x_{2}=1$

As you can see in the figure. This function decreases from $(-\infty,0.5)$ and increases from $(0.5, \infty)$

Finally, another thing we can see from the graph is that the vertex is the point:

$V(0.5,-0.25)$

The quantity a varies directly with b and c and inversely with d. The quantity d is tripled. Which of the following must be true

Vinvika [58]

Lets name the quantity Q
$Q=k* \frac{b*c}{d} 

When quantity d is tripled, we get




$
$Q=k \frac{b*c}{3d} 

To be the relationship the same, we see that we need to$ $
multiply /numerator / by /3 


$ $Q = k \frac{3bc}{3d} 

So the answer should be 
"The product of c and b must be tripled."$
