Can you solve this math problem?
ehehe a more descriptive post would help too
What is the graph of the function f(x) = \[\frac{ x^2+9x+20 }{ x+4 }\]

hint: \(\bf \cfrac{ x^2+9x+20 }{ x+4 }\implies \cfrac{\cancel{(x+4)}(x+5)}{\cancel{x+4}}\) the simplified version BUT with the orignal's constraints so a hole at x = -4
I'm pretty sure it's D. According to what you just said, I'm right....
hmmm hint: x+5 has a positive slope, so is "increasing", not "decreasing"
Oh so it's A? That doesn't make sense though...
If it's at x=-4 shouldn't the line be going down?
ahemm nope, it could go either way recall that "a point" has infinite lines going through it
?
Oops I meant A lol sorry
