How do i solve functions?
1 answer:
Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,
Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,
And the second one,
The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3

Answer: Choice A) There must be a vertical asymptote at x = c
Explanation:
The first limit says that as x approaches c from the left side, the f(x) or y values approach negative infinity. So the graph goes down forever as x approaches this c value from the left side.
The limit means that as x approaches c from the right side, the y values head off to positive infinity.
Either of these facts are enough to conclude that we have a vertical asymptote at x = c. We can think of it like an electric fence in which we can get closer to, but not actually touch it.
