PlEASE HELP ? I can't manage to find the correct answer in my graphing calulator (PICTURE BELOW)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus Can you help me please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zordoloom Can you help me please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The proper graph is on graphcd.jpg.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the second attachement, first image.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, but i got a different answer on my graph cal. I feel like its messed up or something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make sure you put parentheses.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, wait one sec.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i can lend you my graphing calculator http://www.wolframalpha.com/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aww thanks @AravindG

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yw :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On the first attachement, is there an intersection at y=-10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like the first attachement, graph 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zordoloom I think its under the -10, but it is by it. & im checking in my cal. now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, Its the on the first attachement, graph 2 then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get that answr ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I graphed the graph and found its derivative. And it has an intersection below -10.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay so if we look back is my answer A ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( What is it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be b. Because its the second graph on the first attachment. They aren't lettered, so I don't really know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill show you one at a time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thats b Are you 100% sure ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm about to try and graph it one more time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, Positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thankyou. Do you think you can help me with another problem im having trouble with ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, was it correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give me a moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, it's either the first one, or the third one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the limit as x goes to 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this by any chance calculus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't understand lol How did you get that ? can you please show me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you studied limits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i took notes & i'm looking over them now, but i just need just a little help of how you got that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you 100% sure its the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. So you start by multiplying everything out. Then canceling like factors and you get the first and third choice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, 100%.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the only option left is the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im working out the problem. & thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another easy way to figure this out really fast is by looking at the options that are give. You can then determine that the only possible restriction is x can't equal 1. Everything else works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much . I'll keep that in mind. Do you have time for another problem you can help me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So plug it into your calculator, and plug x=1, You'll not get a solution there, since there is a vertical asympotoe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zordoloom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still loooking at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me to . I'm adleasttrying to work it out to see if i get the right answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that a 6b in the denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's defiantly a typo. it should be n.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Say what now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Assuming it's a typo, the correct answer is the second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The b in the denominator is a typo, a mistake. There is no answer with a b in it, therefore no solution exist. But if you replace the "b" with a "n" you get the second choice that is listed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got that to well almost. Kinda of similar. Can you please Show me work on how you got that so i can write it down and comapre it mine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you not trust me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do haha, but im very aware of my grades and answers so i will ask are you 100% lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your a big help & i wanna thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100%. but again there is a mistake in the question.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@zordoloom a better idea would hav been guiding her to that solution instead of pointing out which option is right ..that way she could have understood it 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You start by factoring the top part and get (x+1)(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont see a typo. Im checking over my answer on my paper just to double check.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@Kayy_Drizzyy did you like my calculator ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then factor the denominator and get (x+2)(x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright @zordoloom Thanks a lot you were a lot of help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i see . I'm writting it down.
