The puppy weighs 48 ounces
1. 34.8 2. 127.2 the other ones
1) When the denominator equals zero that is a critical point
=> x - 2 = 0 => x = 2.
So x = 2 is a critical point
2) Simplify the numerator to find an expresion of the king p(x) ≥ 0 or p(x) ≤ 0. Where p(x) equals zero you have other(s) critical point(s)
Multiply both terms:
[2x + 5] / [ x - 2] = [x - 1] / [x - 2]
for x ≠ 2 => 2x + 5 = x - 1
=> 2x - x = - 1 - 5
=> x = - 6
Then, the two critical points are x = 2 and x = - 6.
Answer: option B.
In d ratio 5:9 which equals 5+9=14
the total female performers is 63
For men = 5/14*63=5/2*9
=45/2 =22.5
The men would be about 22.5 in the dance recital
