Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A rational function : f(x) = \frac{x-2}{x-4}

W need to find :

Point of discontinuity : - At x = 4, f(x) tends to reach infinity, So we get discontinuity point at x =4.

For no values of x, we get indetermined form (i.e \frac{0}{0}), Hence there is no holes

Vertical Asymptotes:

Plug y=f(x) = ∞ in f(x) to get vertical asymptote   {We can us writing ∞ = \frac{1}{0}}

i.e ∞ = \frac{x-2}{x-4}

or \frac{1}{0}=\frac{x-2}{x-4}

or x-4 =0

or x=4, Hence at x = 4, f(x) has a vertical asymptote

X -intercept :

Plug f(x)=0 , to get x intercept.

i.e 0 = \frac{x-2}{x-4}

or x - 2 =0

or x = 2

Hence at x=2, f(x) has an x intercept

Horizontal asymptote:

Plug x = ∞ in f(x) to get horizontal asymptote.

i.e f(x) = \frac{x-2}{x-4} = \frac{x(1-\frac{2}{x} )}{x(1-\frac{4}{x} )}

or f(x) = \frac{(1-\frac{2}{∞} )}{(1-\frac{4}{∞} )}

or f(x) = 1 = y

hence at y =f(x) = 1, we get horizontal asymptote

Suppose that each of 935 smokers received a nicotine patch, which delivers nicotine to the bloodstream but at a much slower rate
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have that:

935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).

After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.

Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.

This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.

26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
