Discontunuity of f(x) = x^2 plus 2x over x plus 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago

Answer:

When we have a function like:

f(x) = \frac{g(x)}{h(x)}

This function will have a discontinuity only if it diverges, and a divergence can happen when the denominator is equal to zero and the numerator is different than zero.

In this case, we have the equation:

f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 2*x}{x + 2}

Here the denominator is:

h(x) = x + 2

This is equal to zero when:

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

Now we need to see what happens with the numerator when x = -2

g(-2) = (-2)^2 + 2*(-2) = 0

Is equal to zero.

Then we need to see the limit when x -> -2, and use the L'Hopital theorem.

\lim_{x \to \ - 2} \frac{x^2 + 2*x}{x + 2}

Because we have zero over zero at that point, we need to look at the quotients of the derivatives of both numerator and denominator.

\lim_{x \to \ - 2} \frac{2*x+ 2}{ 2} = \frac{2*-2 + 2}{2} = -1

Then the function does not diverge, then the function has no discontinuity.

We also could look at the graph of f(x) to see it:

Our function is a linear function, and this is because the numerator is x times the denominator, then the function is:

f(x) = x.

John and Kamira are playing a game. John's score (J) and Kamira's score (K) after round 1 are shown on the number line.
IRINA_888 [86]

Complete question :

John and Kamira are playing a game. John's score (J) and Kamira's score (K) after round 1 are shown on the number line.

The score recorded at the end of the first round is 2.

What could this score represent?

Options :

the sum of John's score and Kamira's score

the difference between John's score and Kamira's score

the absolute value of the difference of John's score and Kamira's score

the sum of the absolute value of John's score and the absolute value of Kamira's score

Answer:

the sum of John's score and Kamira's score

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The score recorded at the end of the round is 2

From the attached number line :

John's score = - 5

Kamira's score = 7

Sum = - 5 + 7 = 2

Difference = - 5 - 7 = - 12

Sum of absolute value = 5 + 7 = 12

absolute value of difference = 12

Write a new function that represents a transformation to the parent function if the new function shifts right 5 units and up 3 u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Let's define two transformations.

Vertical translation.

If we have a function f(x), a vertical translation of N untis is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If N is positive, then the translation is upwards

If N is negative, then the translation is downwards.

Horizontal translation.

If we have a function f(x), a horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x - N)

if N is positive, then the translation is to the right

If N is negative, then the translation is to the left.

Now we have a function g(x) that is a transformation of a parent function f(x) (we actually do not know which parent function, so i assume f(x) = x^2) such that we have a shift right 5 units and up 3 units.

Then:

g(x) = f(x - 5) + 3

and again, using f(x) = x^2

g(x) = (x - 5)^2  + 3
