Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{\left(x^2-9\right)}{\left(x^2-x-6\right)}[/tex]

Part 1

Graph attached

y-intercepts can be found by finding f(0) ie the value of f(x) at x = 0

[tex]f(0) = \dfrac{\left(0^2-9\right)}{\left(0^2-0-6\right)} = \dfrac{-9}{-6} = \dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]

Roots of a function can be found by setting f(x) = 0 and solving for x

Setting f(x) = 0

==> [tex]\dfrac{x^2-9}{x^2-x-6} = 0\\\\[/tex]

We can factor the numerator  as follows:
x² - 9 = (x + 3) (x -3)     since (a + b)(a-b) = a² - b²

Denominator can be factored as follows
x² - x - 6 = (x-3)(x+2)

So
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{(x + 3)(x-3)}{(x-3)(x+2)}\\\\[/tex]

The (x-3) term cancels leaving
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x+3}{x+2}[/tex]

Setting this equal to 0 gives
[tex]\dfrac{x+3}{x+2} = 0[/tex]

This is 0 when x + 3 = 0 or x = -3

So there is only one root and that is x = -3

Asymptotes

The vertical asymptote occurs when at a value of x when the denominator becomes 0

The given function has been factored as
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x + 3}{x + 2}[/tex]

The denominator becomes 0 at x = -2
Vertical asymptote is x = - 2

To find the horizontal asymptote use the fact that when the degrees of the numerator and denominator are equal, the horizontal asymptote is given by
[tex]y=\dfrac{\mathrm{numerator's\:leading\:coefficient}}{\mathrm{denominator's\:leading\:coefficient}}[/tex]

The degree of the numerator x + 3 is 1 and the degree of the denominator x + 2 is also 1

So the horizontal asymptote is y = 1/1 = 1

y = 1 is the horizontal asymptote

End behavior is the behavior of the function as x → ±∞  

This is determined by examining the leading term of the function and determining what its behavior is as x → ±∞

In the function
[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x + 3}{x + 2}[/tex]
which is the factored form of the originally given function
the domain of x = all real numbers with the exception of -2 since at x = -2, the function is undefined

The end behavior can be determined by finding the limit of f(x) as x tends to infinity

[tex]\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(\dfrac{x+3}{x+2}\right)\\\\\dfrac{x+3}{x+2} \text{ can be transformed by dividing by x both numerator and denomiator :}\\\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{3}{x}}{\dfrac{x}{x}+\dfrac{2}{x}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1+\frac{3}{x}}{1+\dfrac{2}{x}}[/tex]

[tex]\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(\dfrac{x+3}{x+2}\right) \\\\\\\\=\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(\dfrac{1+\dfrac{3}{x}}{1+\dfrac{2}{x}}\right)\\\\\\\\=\dfrac{\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(1+\dfrac{3}{x}\right)}{\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(1+\dfrac{2}{x}\right)}[/tex]

[tex]\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(1+\dfrac{3}{x}\right) = 1\\\\\lim _{x\to \infty \:}\left(1+\dfrac{2}{x}\right) = 1[/tex]

[tex]\lim _{x\to \:-\infty \:}\left(\dfrac{x+3}{x+2}\right) = 1[/tex]

End behavior
[tex]\mathrm{as}\:x\to \:+\infty \:,\:y\to \:1,\:\:\mathrm{and\:as}\:x\to \:-\infty \:,\:y\to \:1[/tex]

Answer:

The given function is:

f(x) = 1/(x - 2), x ≠ 2

0, x = 2

To find the inverse of the function, we need to solve for x in terms of f(x).

Let y = f(x)

Case 1: When y = 0

If y = 0, then x = 2 as per the definition of the function.

Case 2: When y ≠ 0

y = 1/(x - 2)

1/y = x - 2

x = 1/y + 2

So, the inverse function is:

f-¹(x) = 2, x = 0

1/(x - 2), x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 2

Answer:

0.01167 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration is chage in velocity with respect to time. Another way to think of acceleration is in the units: m/s^2, or as I like to say, (m/s) /s.

The strategy to solve this kind of problem is to find the change in velocity (which will be in units of m/s)... and then divide that by the time passed.

In this case:

Change in Velocity = (13 m/s) - (6 m/s) = 6 m/s

Time passed = 10 min

Converting units of time: 10 min * (60 s / 1 m) = 600 sec

Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time Passed

Acceleration = (6 m/s) / (600 s)

Acceleration = 0.01167 m/s^2

Answer:

451$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,204 + $600 = 1804$

Since there are 4 members on the team, we divide the total sum of costs by 4.

$1804/4 = 451$.

Answer:

The athletic department spent $1,204 on airline tickets and $600 on hotel costs for the 4 members of the tennis team. To find out how much was spent for each member of the tennis team, you can add the cost of airline tickets and hotel costs and then divide by the number of members.

So, the total cost for airline tickets and hotel costs is $1,204 + $600 = $1,804. Since there are 4 members on the tennis team, the cost per member is $1,804 ÷ 4 = $451.

Therefore, $451 was spent for each member of the tennis team.

Circumference = 87.92 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that formula for circumference (C) of a circle is

C = πd, where d is the diameter.

We know that the diameter is twice the measure of the radius, so we can find the diameter of the circle by multiplying the radius by 2:

d = 2r

d = 2 * 14

d = 28 yd

Now, we can find circumference, remembering to use 3.14 for π

C = 3.14 * 28

C = 87.92 yd

The probability of event W occurring given that event R has occurred is 6/19. Among the given answer choices, the correct probability is 6/19.

To find P(W|R), we can use the conditional probability formula:

P(W|R) = P(W & R) / P(R)

Given that P(R) = 1/3 and P(R & W) = 2/19, we can substitute these values into the formula:

P(W|R) = (P(R & W)) / P(R) = (2/19) / (1/3)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal

P(W|R) = (2/19) * (3/1) = 6/19

Therefore, the probability of event W occurring given that event R has occurred is 6/19.

Among the given answer choices, the correct probability is 6/19.

The expression to show how much it will cost if Kenny buys x number of hotdogs is x * $2.

To find the total cost if Kenny buys x number of hotdogs, we can multiply the number of hotdogs (x) by the cost per hotdog ($2). The expression to calculate the cost would be:

Total Cost = x * $2

In this expression, x represents the number of hotdogs Kenny wants to buy, and $2 represents the cost per hotdog.

For example, if Kenny wants to buy 5 hotdogs, we can substitute x with 5 in the expression:

Total Cost = 5 * $2

Simplifying the expression:

Total Cost = $10

So, if Kenny buys 5 hotdogs, it will cost him $10 in total.

Similarly, if Kenny buys any other number of hotdogs, we can substitute that value for x in the expression to calculate the corresponding total cost.

In summary, the expression to show how much it will cost if Kenny buys x number of hotdogs is x * $2.

Answer:

We can simplify the expression log₂8³x using the following logarithmic rule:

logₐb^c = c * logₐb

Using this rule, we can rewrite the expression as:

log₂8³x = 3log₂8 + log₂x

We can further simplify by recognizing that 8 can be expressed as a power of 2:

8 = 2³

Substituting this in, we get:

3log₂8 + log₂x = 3log₂(2³) + log₂x = 3 * 3 + log₂x = 9 + log₂x

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

log₂8³x = 9 + log₂x

The 5th term in the expansion of [tex](3x + 1)^7[/tex] would be [tex]945x^3[/tex].

To find the 5th term in the expansion of  [tex](3x + 1)^7[/tex], we use the binomial theorem formula:

[tex](a + b)^n = nC0 a^n b^0 + nC1 a^(n-1) b^1 + nC2 a^(n-2) b^2 + ... + nCn-1 a^1 b^(n-1) + nCn a^0 b^n[/tex]

where nCk represents the binomial coefficient, given by the formula:

nCk = n! / (k!(n-k)!)

In this case, a = 3x and b = 1, so we have:

[tex](3x + 1)^7 = 7C0 (3x)^7 1^0 + 7C1 (3x)^6 1^1 + 7C2 (3x)^5 1^2 + 7C3 (3x)^4 1^3 + 7C4 (3x)^3 1^4 + 7C5 (3x)^2 1^5 + 7C6 (3x)^1 1^6 + 7C7 (3x)^0 1^7[/tex]

To find the 5th term, we need to look at the term with k = 4, which is:

[tex]7C4 (3x)^3 1^4[/tex] = [tex]35 (3x)^3[/tex]

     = [tex]35 (3x)^3[/tex]

It is shown below that the partition of G into left cosets of H is different from its partition into right cosets when n ≥ 3.

Let us first find the left cosets of H in G:

H = {1, s₀}

s₁H = {s₁, s₁s₀}

s₂H = {s₂, s₂s₀}

s₃H = {s₃, s₃s₀, s₂s₁, s₂s₁s₀}...

Now, find the right cosets of H in G:

H = {1, s₀}

Hs₁ = {s₁, s₀s₁}

Hs₂ = {s₂, s₀s₂}

Hs₃ = {s₃, s₀s₃, s₁s₂, s₀s₁s₂}...

Observe that the left cosets of H in G and the right cosets of H in G are not the same when n≥3. This is because s₁s₀ is not in H, but s₀s₁ is in H.

Therefore, the left coset s₁H is not the same as the right coset Hs₁. Similarly, s₂s₁s₀ is not in H, but s₀s₁s₂ is in H, so the left coset s₃H is not the same as the right coset Hs₃.

The percentage of refrigerators that have lives between 11 years and 18 years is approximately 83.01%.

The values of 11 years and 18 years using the given mean and standard deviation, and then find the area under the standard normal curve between those two standardized values.

First, we standardize the value of 11 years:

z1 = (11 - 14) / 2.5 = -1.2

Next, we standardize the value of 18 years:

z2 = (18 - 14) / 2.5 = 1.6

Now we need to find the area under the standard normal curve between these two standardized values.

We can use a standard normal table or calculator to find this area.

Using a standard normal table, we can find the area between z = -1.2 and z = 1.6 by finding the area to the left of z = 1.6 and subtracting the area to the left of z = -1.2:

Area = P(-1.2 < z < 1.6) = P(z < 1.6) - P(z < -1.2)

Looking up these values in the standard normal table, we find:

P(z < 1.6) = 0.9452

P(z < -1.2) = 0.1151

Substituting these values, we get:

Area = 0.9452 - 0.1151 = 0.8301

The four-door model is sold at 15% discount.

Discount is the difference between list price and selling price.

List price is the original price of the product set by the seller.

Selling price is the price at which the product is actually sold.

We know that percentage of discount is:

Discount % = (Discount/ List price) * 100

where Discount= List price- Selling price

       ⇒ List price= Discount + Selling Price

       ⇒ List price = 9000 + 51000 = Birr 60,000

Calculating the discount percentage based on above mentioned results:

Discount % = (Discount/ list price)*100

⇒ (9,000/60,000)*100 = 15%
