please check my work..!
I have no idea what I'm doing
The removable discontinuity of the graph is the point that is not included... In this instance what can x not equal? For the x intercepts- let y = 0 and solve. For the y intercepts let x= 0 and solve
To solve for the removable discontinuity of this particular graph - you must find the limitations of the domain. We know there is a limitation on domain as we are working with a fraction. We cannot divide by zero... So you need to find the number that would make the denominator zero. This is the removable discontinuity
Now- looking at the y-intercepts.... If we were to let x = 0 and solve we'd find that 0 is our removable discontinuity as well as our vertical asymptote... So there are no y-intercepts
If we were to let y = 0 and solve for our x intercepts we could get -2 and 10
@sunnnystrong I thought the removable discontinuity only occurs when the numerator and the denominators are equivalent..?
also, shouldn't this be a slant asymptote?
I think the factoring is incorrect, but I don't know how critical that is to the rest of the question. (x-10)(x-2) = x^2 - 12x + 20
