Let f be the function defined by f(x)=cx−5x^2/2x^2+ax+b, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of f has a vertical asymptot

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

a) $a = 2$ and $b = -4$ , b) $c = -10$ , c) $f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}$ , d) $y = -\frac{5}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

a) After we read the statement carefully, we find that rational-polyomic function has the following characteristics:

1) A root of the polynomial at numerator is -2. (Removable discontinuity)

2) Roots of the polynomial at denominator are 1 and -2, respectively. (Vertical asymptote and removable discontinuity.

We analyze each polynomial by factorization and direct comparison to determine the values of $a$ , $b$ and $c$ .

Denominator

i) $(x+2)\cdot (x-1) = 0$ Given

ii) $x^{2} + x-2 = 0$ Factorization

iii) $2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4 = 0$ Compatibility with multiplication/Cancellative Property/Result

After a quick comparison, we conclude that $a = 2$ and $b = -4$

b) The numerator is analyzed by applying the same approached of the previous item:

Numerator

i) $c\cdot x - 5\cdot x^{2} = 0$ Given

ii) $x \cdot (c-5\cdot x) = 0$ Distributive Property

iii) $(-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x-\frac{c}{5}\right)=0$ Distributive and Associative Properties/ $(-a)\cdot b = -a\cdot b$ /Result

As we know, this polynomial has $x = -2$ as one of its roots and therefore, the following identity must be met:

i) $\left(x -\frac{c}{5}\right) = (x+2)$ Given

ii) $\frac{c}{5} = -2$ Compatibility with addition/Modulative property/Existence of additive inverse.

iii) $c = -10$ Definition of division/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Compatibility with multiplication/Modulative property/Result

The value of $c$ is -10.

c) We can rewrite the rational function as:

$f(x) = \frac{(-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x+2 \right)}{2\cdot (x+2)\cdot (x-1)}$

After eliminating the removable discontinuity, the function becomes:

$f(x) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{x}{x-1}\right)$

At $x = -2$ , we find that $f(-2)$ is:

$f(-2) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left[\frac{(-2)}{(-2)-1} \right]$

$f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}$

d) The value of the horizontal asympote is equal to the limit of the rational function tending toward $\pm \infty$ . That is:

$y = \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} \frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4}$ Given

$y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[\left(\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x-4}\right)\cdot 1\right]$ Modulative Property

$y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left[\left(\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x-4}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}} \right)\right]$ Existence of Multiplicative Inverse/Definition of Division

$y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{\frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{x^{2}} }{\frac{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4}{x^{2}} } \right)$ $\frac{\frac{x}{y} }{\frac{w}{z} } = \frac{x\cdot z}{y\cdot w}$

$y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{-\frac{10}{x}-5 }{2+\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{x^{2}} } \right)$ $\frac{x}{y} + \frac{z}{y} = \frac{x+z}{y}$ / $x^{m}\cdot x^{n} = x^{m+n}$
