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

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

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

$y = -\frac{5}{2}$ Limit properties/ $\lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac{1}{x^{n}} = 0$ , for $n \geq 1$

The horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is $y = -\frac{5}{2}$ .

P(n) models the price (in dollars) of a pack of n bulbs at a certain store.

ycow [4]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

P(n) models the price (in dollars) of a pack of n bulbs at a certain store.

When does the price of a pack increase faster ?

n 4 10 12

P(n) 12 25 28

When does the price of a pack increase faster ?

A. Between 4 and 10 bulbs

B. Between 10 and 12 bulbs

C. The price increases at the same rat over both the intervals.

To solve this question we will find the rate of increase in the prices per pack in the given intervals.

From n = 4 to n = 10

Rate of increase in price = $\frac{25-12}{10-4}$

= $\frac{13}{6}$

= 2.166 ≈ $2.17 per pack

From n = 10 to n = 12

Rate of increase in price = $\frac{28-25}{12-10}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

= $1.5 per pack

Therefore, price per pack increases faster between n = 4 and n = 10 as compared to n = 10 to n = 12.

Option A is the answer.
