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.

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

  • A. - 2x + 3y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

<u>The given line has a slope of:</u>

  • m = -3/2

<u>The perpendicular slope is:</u>

  • m = 2/3

<u>And its y-intercept is:</u>

  • 9 = 2/3*3 + b
  • b = 7

<u>The line is:</u>

  • y = 2/3x + 7

<u>Convert this into standard form and compare with answer choices:</u>

  • 3y = 2x + 21
  • - 2x + 3y = 21

Correct choice is A

The curved part of this figures is a semicircle.
vovangra [49]

First we join the two endpoints of the semicircle and that will be the diameter.

And to find the length of the diameter, we have to use distance formula, with one endpoint (3,2) and the other is (-4,-2) .

SO we get

Diameter = \sqrt{ {-4-3)^2 +(-2-2)^2 } = \sqrt{49+16} = \sqrt 65

Radius is half of diameter, so the radius is

Radius= \frac{ \sqrt{65}}{2}

Formula of area of circle is

Area = \pi r^2

So the area of semicircle is

=(1/2) \pi ( \frac{ \sqrt{65}}{2})^2 = 8.125 \pi \square \units

And the other figure is a triangle, with

Base = 3-(-4)=3+4=7 \\ height = 2-(-2) = 2+2 =4

Area = (1/2)*4*7= 14 square units

Therefore, total area is the sum of area of semicircle and area of triangle,

And we will get

Total \ area= 14 + 8.125 \pi \ units^2

Correct option is the third option .
