We can define discontinuity as a point in our function where we have a given indetermination. Here particularly we refer to the indetermination of dividing by zero.

The correct option is a: Vertical Asymptote

Here we work with functions like:

f(x) = \frac{g(x)}{k(x)}

Suppose that g(x) = (x + 1)*(x - 2)

                        k(x) = (x + 1)*(x + 17)

Then we have:

f(x) = \frac{(x + 1)*(x - 2)}{(x + 1)*(x + 17)}

Here we have the common factor (x + 1) that we can remove, doing that we get:

f(x) = \frac{(x - 2)}{(x + 17)}

This function can't be reduced any more, so now we can see the discontinuity. It happens when the denominator is equal to zero at x = -17.

Now, if any number is divided by a really smaller number, then the outcome of the quotient is really large (or really small, depending of the sign). From this, for dividing by zero we will have vertical asymptotes that tend to infinity (or negative infinity).

Then the discontinuity that is found by reducing common factors in the numerator and denominator of a rational function is a vertical asymptote, thus the correct option is a.

Carmen currently has $5; she makes $2 a week in allowance. Question: a) Write a function C(x) that represents how much money she
aivan3 [116]

For question a) you can do 2 x 7 sine their are 7 days in a week 2 x 7 = 19 so by the end of each week Carmen has $19. in 10 weeks she will have $20 dollars. if in 10 weeks she has $20 wait if it is time two there can't be 35 try 17 cause that's closes so in 17 she will have $36. Same thing Lilly starts with $10 each week she gets $1 a week so 1 x 7 = 7 and since she started with $ 10 she has $17 Lilly must earn 19 dollars to be equal with Carmen. Hope this helps
