The first carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the second carpenter

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Two carpenters are building a fence  

After 5 minutes, one carpenter is finished 4/7 of the way

Second carpenter finished 1/8 of the way

Now, let us find the work done by each carpenter

\begin{array}{l}{\text { For } 1^{\text {st }} \text { carpenter }=\frac{4}{7}=0.5714 \text { approximately. }} \\\\ {\text { For } 2^{\text {nd }} \text { carpenter }=\frac{1}{8}=0.125}\end{array}

Then, extra work done by first carpenter over second carpenter = work done by first carpenter – work done by second carpenter

= 0.5714 – 0.125 = 0.4464

Hence, the 1st carpenter is 0.4464 of the way is ahead of the 2nd carpenter

Explain why f(x) = x^2+4x+3/x^2-x-2 is not continuous at x = -1.
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression

f(x) = \frac{x^2+4x+3}{x^2-x-2}

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.

Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial x^2-x-2

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.

These numbers are -2 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x-2) (x + 1)

We do the same with the numerator

x^2+4x+3

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.

These numbers are 3 and 1

Then the factors are:

(x+3)(x + 1)

Therefore

f(x) = \frac{(x+3)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x+1)}

Note that \frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)}=1 only if x \neq -1

So since x = -1 is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in x = -1
