8.<br> A) Use long division to divide (5x3 – 7x2 + 7x - 8) by (5x

Decide whether the function is an exponential growth or exponential decay function, and find the constant percentage rate of gro

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Exponential decay function; -0.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an exponential function and we are supposed to find whether the given function increases or decreases and also the percentage of increase or decrease.

Th given function is f(x) = 2060 $\times (0.9906)^{x}$

Here x denotes the number of years.

At the start the value was 2060. In the next year it was multiplied by 0.9906.

This means that the value becomes 0.9906 times after each year.

Hence the value decreases by 0.0094 times its original value.

Converting to percentage it becomes 0.94% decrease after each year.

a) The polynomial in expanded form is $f(x) = x^{3}-2\cdot x^{2}-21\cdot x -18$ .

b) The slant asymptote is represented by the linear function is $y = -x + 1$ .

c) There is a discontinuity at $x = 2$ with a slant asymptote.

a) In this question we are going to use the Factor Theorem, which establishes that polynomial are the result of products of binomials of the form $x-r_{i}$ , where $r_{i}$ is the i-th root of the polynomial and the grade is equal to the quantity of roots. Therefore, the polynomial $f(x)$ has the following form:

$f(x) = (x-6)\cdot (x+1)\cdot (x+3)$

And the expanded form is obtained by some algebraic handling:

$f(x) = (x-6)\cdot (x^{2}+4\cdot x +3)$

$f(x) = x\cdot (x^{2}+4\cdot x + 3)-6\cdot (x^{2}+4\cdot x +3)$

$f(x) = x^{3}+4\cdot x^{2}+3\cdot x -6\cdot x^{2}-24\cdot x -18$

$f(x) = x^{3}-2\cdot x^{2}-21\cdot x -18$ (1)

The polynomial in expanded form is $f(x) = x^{3}-2\cdot x^{2}-21\cdot x -18$ .

b) In this question we divide the polynomial found in a) (in factor form) by the polynomial $x^{2}-x -2$ (also in factor form). That is:

$g(x) = \frac{(x-6)\cdot (x+1)\cdot (x+3)}{(x-2)\cdot (x+1)}$

$g(x) = \frac{(x-6)\cdot (x+3)}{x-2}$ (2)

The slant asymptote is defined by linear function, whose slope ( $m$ ) and intercept ( $b$ ) are determined by the following expressions:

$m = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac{g(x)}{x}$ (3)

$b = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} [g(x)-x]$ (4)

If $g(x) = \frac{(x-6)\cdot (x+3)}{x-2}$ , then the equation of the slant asymptote is:

$m = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-6)\cdot (x+3)}{x\cdot (x-2)}$

$m = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{x^{2}-3\cdot x -18}{x^{2}-2\cdot x} \right)$

$m = 1$

$b = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{x^{2}-3\cdot x -18}{x-2}-x \right)$

$b = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{x^{2}-3\cdot x - 18-x^{2}+2\cdot x}{x-2}\right)$

$b = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{-x-18}{x-2} \right)$

$b = -1$

The slant asymptote is represented by the linear function is $y = -x + 1$ .

c) The number of discontinuities in rational functions is equal to the number of binomials in the denominator, which was determined in b). Hence, we have a discontinuity at $x = 2$ with a slant asymptote.

What is 90/70<br> Simplified

allsm [11]

As an improper fraction, the simplified answer would be 9/7 after you divide both top and bottom by 10

------------------------

If you need a mixed number, then 9/7 converts to 1 & 2/7 because

9/7 = 1 remainder 2

If you had 9 cookies and 7 friends, then each friend gets 1 whole cookie, and there will be 2 left over.
