Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming you meant to type in
because you can only have removable discontinuities where there is a rational (fraction) function. Begin by factoring both the numerator and denominator to
and cancelling out like terms would have us eliminating the (x + 3). That is where there is a removable discontinuity. It leaves a hole. The other discontinuity, (x + 1) doesn't cancel out so it is a non-removable discontuinity, which is a vertical asymptote.
The removable discontinuity is at -3. There is no y value at x = -3 (remember there's only a hole here), because -3 causes the denominator to go to 0 and we all know that having a 0 in the denominator of a fraction is a big no-no!!!
Answer:
x = 1.24
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get that x down from its current position of exponential, you need to take either the log or the natural log of both sides. The power rule tells us that we can then pull the exponent down in front. So let's take the natural log of both sides:
We can bring the x down in front to give us:
ln(83) = x ln(35)
The right side of this is "stuck" together by multiplication, so we can undo that multilication by division of the ln(35). That leaves us with just x on the right:
Do this on your calculator and find that x = 1.24
