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

3 log 2x = 4

==> log 2x = 4/3

==> 2x = 10^(4/3)

==> x =  \frac{10^(4/3)}{2}

I really need help with this( 25 points to whoever answers)

Look over all of the possible answers.  If any of them contains either M or N or both, the result is irrational.  There's one exception:  N^2 produces a rational number because the radical disappears.
