Find the equation of the rational function ƒ whose graph satisfies the conditions: Horizontal asymptote is y = 3, vertical asymptote is x = –5, removable discontinuity at x = 2, x-intercept is 1.

Respuesta :

A function assigns the values. The function is f(x) = (8x - 8)/(x² + 2x).

What is a Function?

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

A rational function has a denominator and a numerator.

Vertical asymptotes are x-values that the function approaches but never touches. By setting the denominator to zero, we may discover the vertical asymptotes.

Since the vertical asymptote is x=-2 and x=0,  our denominator of the function will be

x(x+2) = x²+2x

Horizontal asymptotes are y values that the function approaches but never touches. Because the horizontal asymptote is y=0, the numerator's degree must be less than the denominator's degree. And because the x-intercept is equal to one, our numerator will be

x - 1

At the moment, The function can be assumed to be,

f(x) = (x - 1)/(x²+2x)

Next, we need to use the condition f(2)=1.   If we plug in x=2, f(x) should equal 1. But we need to multiply the right side of the function by some constant C.

The condition f(2)=1 must then be applied. If we substitute x=2, f(x) should equal 1. However, we must multiply the right side of the function by a constant C.

1 = C(2 - 1)/(2²+2(2))

Solve for C.

1 = C / 8

8 = C

So the function will be

f(x) = [8(x - 1)] / [(x² + 2x)]

f(x) = (8x - 8) / (x² + 2x)

Hence, the function is f(x) = (8x - 8)/(x² + 2x).
