Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

2

−

9

)

, which can be factorized as

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

+

3

)

(

x

−

3

)

As there is no common factor between numerator and denominator, there s no hole.

Further vertical asymptotes are

x

=

−

3

and

x

=

3

and as

f

(

x

)

=

2

x

2

(

x

2

−

9

)

=

2

1

−

9

x

2

, as

x

→

∞

,

f

(

x

)

→

2

, hence horizontal asymptote is

y

=

2

.

Observe that

f

(

−

x

)

=

f

(

x

)

and hence graph is symmetric w.r.t.

y

-axis. Further as

x

=

0

,

f

(

x

)

=

0

. Using calculas we can find that at

(

0

,

0

)

there is a local maxima as

d

y

d

x

=

−

36

x

(

x

2

−

9

)

2

and at

x

=

0

it is

0

. Further while for

x

<

−

3

and

x

>

3

, function is positive, for

−

3

<

x

<

3

function is negative.

Now take a few values of

x

say

{

−

10

,

−

7

,

−

4

,

−

2

,

−

1

,

1

,

2

,

4

,

7

,

10

}

and corresponding values of

f

(

x

)

are

{

Mr. McBride ordered 6 cheese pizzas and 7 pepperoni pizzas and paid $153.50 for his son's birthday party. He realized he was goi
Marat540 [252]

Let x = cost of one cheese pizza.

Let y = cost of one pepperoni pizza.

Set up a system of equations.

6x + 7y = 153.50

2x + 2y = 47.00.

Multiply the second equation by -3

6x + 7y = 153.50

-6x - 6y = -141.00.

Add the equations together

y = $12.00.

Plug 12 into one of our original equations.

2x + 2(12) = 47.

Simplify the left side.

2x + 24 = 47.

Subtract 24 from each side.

2x = 23.

Divide each side by 2

x = $11.50

In conclusion, one pepperoni pizza costs $12.00
