Answer:

B. f(x) = 3/(x^2 +2x +1)

E. f(x) = 5/(3+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The above functions have denominators that are zero at one point. For B, that point is x=-1; for E, that point is x=-3. When the denominator is zero, the function is undefined, so the corresponding x-value must be excluded from the domain.

As written, choice D also qualifies. This is because the function written in the answer list here is ...

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x^2}+5x+4$

It will be undefined for x=0.

Comment on writing rational functions

When the division symbol (/ or ÷) is used with a denominator that is a product or sum, that product or sum must be enclosed in parentheses. When the expression is typeset, the division bar acts as a grouping symbol. When the expression is written in text, a grouping symbol, such as parentheses, must be added.

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y - 8 = -5x$

$6y = -10x + 16$

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

$3y - 8 = -5x$

Add 8 to both sides

$3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8$

$3y = -5x + 8$

Divide both sided by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$6y = -10x + 16$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

$y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

Simplify fractions to lowest term

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.

Is the function f(x) increasing or decreasing over the interval -2< x<-1 ?

liq [111]

the function f(x) is increasing.

looking at the domain -2 < x < -1, we can see that the function f(x) = 2^x (labeled in blue) has an increasing slope.

Find an equation of a line containing the point (-6,3) and has slope - 1/3

AfilCa [17]

Answer: y=-1/3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that contains the given point and has the same slope, we can plug it into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept.

3=-1/3(-6)+b [multiply]

3=2+b [subtract both sides by 2]

b=1

Now that we know the y-intercept, we know that the equation is y=-1/3x+1.
