Answer:
C. 9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
4^2 + 8.6^2 = c^2
16 + 73.96 = c^2
c^2 = 89.96
c = 9.4847....
Answer:
The value of x = -1 makes the denominator of the function equal to zero. That is why this value is not included in the domain of f(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following expression

Since the division between zero is not defined then the function f(x) can not include the values of x that make the denominator of the function zero.
Now we search that values of x make 0 the denominator factoring the polynomial 
We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result -1 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain -2 as a result.
These numbers are -2 and 1
Then the factors are:

We do the same with the numerator

We need two numbers that when adding them get as a result 4 and when multiplying those numbers, obtain 3 as a result.
These numbers are 3 and 1
Then the factors are:

Therefore

Note that
only if 
So since
is not included in the domain the function has a discontinuity in 
Answer:
D)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 -14x -72
0=x^2 - 14x-72
0=x^2 - 18x+4x-72
0=x(x-18)+4(x-18)
0=(x-18)(x+4)
x-18=0 or x+4=0
x1=18 or x2=-4
asis of symmetry: x=(x1+x2)/2
x=(18+(-4))/2
x=14/2
x=7
Answer:
12% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease, take the original amount and subtract the new amount
650-572=78
Divide this amount by the original amount
78/650 =.12
Multiply by 100
.12*100 = 12
Add the percent symbol
12% decrease
