Answer:

"a removable discontinuity that can be removed by extending the function to include f(1) = 13"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 11*x  - 12}{x - 1}

Here we have a problem when x = 1, because that makes the denominator to be equal to zero.

For now, let's see what happens to the numerator when x = 1

1^2 + 11*1 - 12 = 12 - 12 = 0

So x = 1 is a root of the numerator.

Let's find the other root of the numerator, here we can use Bhaskara's formula:

x = \frac{-11 \pm \sqrt{11^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1}  = \frac{-11 \pm 13}{2}

Then the two roots are:

x = (-11 + 13)/2 = 1

x = (-11 - 13)/2 = -12

And remember that a quadratic equation:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

With roots p and k, can be written as:

y = a*(x - p)*(x - k)

Then we can rewrite our numerator as:

1*(x - 1)*(x - (-12)) = (x - 1)*(x + 12)

Replacing that in the equation for f(x), we get:

f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 11*x  - 12}{x - 1} = \frac{(x - 1)*(x + 12)}{(x - 1)}  = \frac{x - 1}{x -1} *(x + 12)

f(x) = x + 12

And, when evaluated in x = 1, we get:

f(1) = 1 + 12 = 13

Then the correct option is:

"a removable discontinuity that can be removed by extending the function to include f(1) = 13"

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We can plug in the given coordinates into the equation:

Slope=\frac{-2-3}{3-2}=\frac{-5}{1}=-5
