Question

How to graph R(x) = 2(x+1)(x-5)/(x+3)(x-1)
What are the x and y intercepts along with the hole?

Answer 1

x-intercepts , set r(x) = 0 and solve for x.

y-intercepts, after you find the x-intercepts, just plug them back into the function to find the corresponding y-intercepts.
To graph it, make a table, r(x) = y value
so you just input x values and find the corresponding y-values and then graph it..

Answer 2

so X intercepts are (3,0), (5,0) and y intercept (0,-10)?

Answer 3

I could really use your help, I have a final tomorrow.

Answer 4

No those are wrong.

Answer 5

One of them is right though, x- intercept --> 5 and its corresponding y intercept is 0 . so (5,0)

Answer 6

Then what would the other one be? The y intercept. Would the graph look like to two curved lines diagonal from one another?

Answer 7

The other x-intercept is (-1,0)

Answer 8

To graph it, make a table, and then plot the x , y values and connect them.

Answer 9

So using the asymptotes as a guide, right?

Answer 10

I know the horizontal asymptote would be 2, right? What would the vertical be?

Answer 11

Vertical asymptotes would be found by setting your denominator equal to 0 and solving for x.

Answer 12

(x+3)(x-1) = 0
x = ? , x= ?

Answer 13

so -3 and -1?

Answer 14

We are almost done ;)

Answer 15

-3 , and postive 1.
x - 1 =0
x = 1

Answer 16

Can I ask one other quick question?

Answer 17

Go for it.

Answer 18

What is the probability that a person is in favor of a school policy change given that she is a student?
Total amount of students = 619 Those in favor of Students - 353
Faculty - 34

What is the probability?

Answer 19

619 + 34 = 653
says a person , so add students + faculty to get the max number of people
than divide the total number by those in favor.

353/653

Answer 20

Thank you so much.

Answer 21

you're welcome.
