When looking at the rational function f of x equals the quantity x minus one times the quantity x plus two times the quantity x plus four all divided by the quantity x plus one times the quantity x minus two times the quantity x minus four , sue and ed have two different thoughts. sue says that the graph of the function has zeros at x = −1, x = 2, and x = 4. ed says that the function is undefined at those x values and discontinuities are created in the graph . who is correct? justify your reasoning by explaining the difference between zeros and discontinuities. (10 points)

As per the given question, the expression of the function is as:

Now, as per the definition of zeros, the zero is that value of x which when plugged into the function should make the function zero (it is also called "making the function vanish"). In our case, plugging in "zero values" of x should make the numerator zero without making the denominator zero. Now, if we plug in the given values of x, which are x=-1, x=2 and x=4 in the function we see that the numerator does not become a zero but the denominator does.

Thus, x=-1, x=2 and x=4 are not the zeros of the function and therefore, Sue is wrong. However, we do have discontinuities at the aforementioned values of x because the denominator becomes a zero at those points and as per the definition of a discontinuity the denominator should be a zero at that point. Therefore, Ed is correct.

i’ll just s take the points thxs

it is definatly the 3rd one. very much looks like it, for a good chance, the third one would be best for you.

8(4)^8=72^feet to say that the total can conclude to 8(4) which as you know would mean 8 x 4. that equals 32w. 32^ could make a 72 answer as well. but your coefficent will remain w so your answer is 72w.
