For discontinuity of the function:
x² - 7 x - 8 ≠ 0
x² - 8 x + x - 8 = 0
x ( x - 8 ) + ( x - 8 ) ≠ 0
( x - 8 ) ( x + 1 ) ≠ 0
The points of discontinuity are: x = - 1 and x = 8.
As for the Domain of the function:
x ∈ ( - ∞, - 1 ) ∪ ( - 1 , 8 ) ∪ ( 8, +∞ ).
The little lines on each side of the rhombus mean that all the sides are the same length.
We can set line LM and MN equal to solve for X, then we can solve the length of a side.
3x-3 = x+7
Add 3 to each side:
3x = x +10
Subtract x from each side:
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10/2
x = 5
Now we have the value for x, replace x in one of the side formulas:
x +7 = 5+7 = 12
Each side = 12 units.
The perimeter would be 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = 48 units.
Answer:
2.5 or 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3=2
2x=5 (both sides plus 3)
x=5/2 or 2.5(divid by 2 on both sides)
