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 asymptote at x=1, and f has a removable discontinuity at x=−2. (a) Show that a=2 and b=−4. (b) Find the value of c. Justify your answer. (c) To make f continuous at x=−2, f(−2) should be defined as what value? Justify your answer. (d) Write an equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f. Show the work that leads to your answer.
Answer:
a) [tex]a = 2[/tex] and [tex]b = -4[/tex], b) [tex]c = -10[/tex], c) [tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex], d) [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex].
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 [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]c[/tex].
Denominator
i) [tex](x+2)\cdot (x-1) = 0[/tex] Given
ii) [tex]x^{2} + x-2 = 0[/tex] Factorization
iii) [tex]2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4 = 0[/tex] Compatibility with multiplication/Cancellative Property/Result
After a quick comparison, we conclude that [tex]a = 2[/tex] and [tex]b = -4[/tex]
b) The numerator is analyzed by applying the same approached of the previous item:
Numerator
i) [tex]c\cdot x - 5\cdot x^{2} = 0[/tex] Given
ii) [tex]x \cdot (c-5\cdot x) = 0[/tex] Distributive Property
iii) [tex](-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x-\frac{c}{5}\right)=0[/tex] Distributive and Associative Properties/[tex](-a)\cdot b = -a\cdot b[/tex]/Result
As we know, this polynomial has [tex]x = -2[/tex] as one of its roots and therefore, the following identity must be met:
i) [tex]\left(x -\frac{c}{5}\right) = (x+2)[/tex] Given
ii) [tex]\frac{c}{5} = -2[/tex] Compatibility with addition/Modulative property/Existence of additive inverse.
iii) [tex]c = -10[/tex] Definition of division/Existence of multiplicative inverse/Compatibility with multiplication/Modulative property/Result
The value of [tex]c[/tex] is -10.
c) We can rewrite the rational function as:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{(-5\cdot x)\cdot \left(x+2 \right)}{2\cdot (x+2)\cdot (x-1)}[/tex]
After eliminating the removable discontinuity, the function becomes:
[tex]f(x) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{x}{x-1}\right)[/tex]
At [tex]x = -2[/tex], we find that [tex]f(-2)[/tex] is:
[tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{2}\cdot \left[\frac{(-2)}{(-2)-1} \right][/tex]
[tex]f(-2) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
d) The value of the horizontal asympote is equal to the limit of the rational function tending toward [tex]\pm \infty[/tex]. That is:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \pm\infty} \frac{-10\cdot x-5\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot x^{2}+2\cdot x -4}[/tex] Given
[tex]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][/tex] Modulative Property
[tex]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][/tex] Existence of Multiplicative Inverse/Definition of Division
[tex]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)[/tex] [tex]\frac{\frac{x}{y} }{\frac{w}{z} } = \frac{x\cdot z}{y\cdot w}[/tex]
[tex]y = \lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \left(\frac{-\frac{10}{x}-5 }{2+\frac{2}{x}-\frac{4}{x^{2}} } \right)[/tex] [tex]\frac{x}{y} + \frac{z}{y} = \frac{x+z}{y}[/tex]/[tex]x^{m}\cdot x^{n} = x^{m+n}[/tex]
[tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex] Limit properties/[tex]\lim_{x \to \pm \infty} \frac{1}{x^{n}} = 0[/tex], for [tex]n \geq 1[/tex]
The horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex].
Using asymptote concepts, it is found that:
a) Building a quadratic equation with leading coefficient 2 and roots 1 and -2, it is found that a = 2, b = -4.
b) c = -10, since the discontinuity at x = -2 is removable, the numerator is 0 when x = -2.
c) Simplifying the function, it is found that at [tex]x = -2, f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex].
d) The equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
-------------------------
Item a:
Vertical asymptote at [tex]x = 1[/tex] and discontinuity at [tex]x = -2[/tex] means that the the roots of the quadratic function at the denominator are [tex]x = 1[/tex] and [tex]x = -2[/tex].The leading coefficient is given as 2, thus, we build the equation to find coefficients a and b.[tex]2(x - 1)(x - (-2)) = 2(x - 1)(x + 2) = 2(x^2 + x - 2) = 2x^2 + 2x - 4[/tex]
[tex]2x^2 + ax + b = 2x^2 - 2x - 4[/tex]
Thus a = 2, b = -4.
-------------------------
Item b:
Removable discontinuity at [tex]x = -2[/tex] means that the numerator when [tex]x = -2[/tex] is 0, thus:[tex]-2c - 5(-2)^2 = 0[/tex]
[tex]-2c - 20 = 0[/tex]
[tex]2c = -20[/tex]
[tex]c = -\frac{20}{2}[/tex]
[tex]c = -10[/tex]
-------------------------
Item c:
With the coefficients, the function is:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{-10x - 5x^2}{2x^2 + 2x - 4} = \frac{-5x(x + 2)}{2(x - 1)(x + 2)} = -\frac{5x}{2(x - 1)}[/tex]
At x = -2:
[tex]-\frac{5(-2)}{2(-2 - 1)} = -\frac{-10}{-6} = -(\frac{5}{3}) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Thus, simplifying the function, it is found that at [tex]x = -2, f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
-------------------------
Item d:
The horizontal asymptote of a function is:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)[/tex]
Thus:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{-10x - 5x^2}{2x^2 + 2x - 4} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{-5x^2}{2x^2} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} -\frac{5}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
The equation for the horizontal asymptote to the graph of f is [tex]y = -\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Explain why it might be easier to solve the multiplication problem by changing it from this: 5×87×2, to this: 5×2×87. Use a property of multiplication to justify your reasoning.
Answer:
It makes the calculation easy and quick.
Step-by-step explanation:
Commutative Property of multiplicationThe product of two or more real numbers is not affected by the order in which they are being multiplied. In other words, real numbers can be multiplied in any order because the product remains the same.When you multiply as it is given:
5×87×2=870Step 1) 5×87 = 435Step 2) 435×2 = 870Using the commutative property makes it much easier:
5×2×87 = 870Step 1) 5×2 = 10Step 2) 10* 87 = 870Answer:
see below.
Step-by-step explanation:
its a commutative property of multiplication.
it doesn't matter in order or not... the result will always be the same.
form your example 5×87×2, if you use a calculator it doesn't matter which number you start.
say 2 x 87 x 5 = 870
or 87 x 5 x 2 = 870
or 5 x 2 x 87 = 870
see the results are all the same no matter which way you go.

If the system of equations have the same slope and same y-intercepts then it means that they have infinitely many solutions.
if the system of equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts it means that they have no solution because they will never intersect but will always form parallel lines.
If the system of equations have different slopes and different y-intercepts or have same y-intercepts and different slopes it means that they have exactly on solution.

Sarah is working as a truck driver. She gets paid $100 everyday and then $22 per hr driving. How many hours does sarah have to work to make $276 in one day
Answer:8
Step-by-step explanation: she makes $100 a day so you would subtract that from the total (276) then you would divide the remainder (176) by the amount she makes an hour (22) then you would end up with 8 hours
Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
For $22=1 hour
For $1=1/22 hours
For $176=176/22 hours=8 hours
And she gets also $100 extra
So for $276 she works 8 hours.

19. Amy has 8 coins worth $1.40. Some of the coins are nickels and some are quarters. How
many of each coin does Amy have?
Answer:
5 quarters and 3 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
x = nickels
y = quarters
x + y = 8
x(0.05) + y(0.25) = 1.40
3 + 5 = 8
3(0.05) + 5(0.25) = 1.40
0.15 + 1.25 = 1.40
1.25 + 0.15 = 1.40
If m < A = 4x + 12 and x = 15, is < A acute, obtuse, or right? Justify your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle A = 4x + 12 = 4(15) + 12 = 72°.
Acute is for angles that are less than 90°.
Obtuse is for angles that are between 90° and 180°, not inclusive.
Right is for angles that are 90°
Hence the answer is acute.
The angle is an acute angle
An acute angle is an angle that is less than 90 degrees
An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees
In order to determine which type of angle it is, solve for angle A
4x + 12
4(15) + 12
60 + 12 = 72
The angle is acute because it is less than 90 degrees
