Factorize the denominator:

\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^3+x^2-4x-4}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{x^2(x+1)-4(x+1)}=\dfrac{x^2-4}{(x^2-4)(x+1)}

If x\neq\pm2, we can cancel the factors of x^2-4, which makes x=-2 and x=2 removable discontinuities that appear as holes in the plot of g(x).

We're then left with

\dfrac1{x+1}

which is undefined when x=-1, so this is the site of a vertical asymptote.

As x gets arbitrarily large in magnitude, we find

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-\infty}g(x)=\lim_{x\to+\infty}g(x)=0

since the degree of the denominator (3) is greater than the degree of the numerator (2). So y=0 is a horizontal asymptote.

Intercepts occur where g(x)=0 (x-intercepts) and the value of g(x) when x=0 (y-intercept). There are no x-intercepts because \dfrac1{x+1} is never 0. On the other hand,

g(0)=\dfrac{0-4}{0+0-0-4}=1

so there is one y-intercept at (0, 1).

The domain of g(x) is the set of values that x can take on for which g(x) exists. We've already shown that x can't be -2, 2, or -1, so the domain is the set

\{x\in\mathbb R\mid x\neq-2,x\neq-1,x\neq2\}

Suppose a house has a floor area of 2,250 square feet. what is this area in units of square centimeters?
Natali [406]
1 feet = 30.5 centimetres

1 feet² = (30.5)² centimetres²

2250 feet² = 2250 × 30.5² = 2093062.5 centimeters²

What is the total number of common tangents that can be drawn to the circles
tester [92]

Answer:

A. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The circles are concentric. I.e there is no point where the circumferences of both circles ever touch each other. Hence there can be no tangent line possible that can be common to both circles at the same time.

Spiral Review
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = Five tenths

and

0.05 = five hundredths

This is because 0.5 is like 50 cents and 0.05 is like 5 cents

The rest are wrong because A: 0.05 simply can't be bigger than 0.5

B is wrong because they aren't equal to each other

and D is wrong because 0.05 + 0.5 = 0.55

If you use your office computer 40 hours per week, and do not unplug the computer when it is not in use, how much carbon dioxide
dangina [55]
If you use a laptop:  9.25; a desktop with a CRT monitor:  55.51; a desktop with an LCD monitor:  46.26.

A laptop that is plugged up and turned off uses 0.001kw/hr of energy.  Each kwh of energy produces, on average, 1.39 lbs of CO2.  There are 24*7=168 hours in the week; subtract the 40 hour work week from this and we have 128 hours a week for 52 weeks a year:
0.001*128*52=6.656*1.39=9.25.

A desktop that is plugged up and turned off uses 0.004kw/hr of energy.  A CRT monitor uses 0.002 kw/hr when turned off.  This means we have:
(0.004*128*52*1.39)+(0.002*128*52*1.39)=55.51.

For a desktop and an LCD monitor, which uses 0.001 kw/hr of energy, we have:
(0.004*128*52*139)+(0.001*128*52*1.39)=46.26.

What is the slope of Y=-2/3 X + 2
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

in y=mx+b, m= the slope

and if you were graphing, you would put 2 on the y axis and use the rise over run strategy for the slope

hope this helped:)
