$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Question 12

Which of the following is a vertical asymptote of $$f(x) = \frac{x^2$ - 5x + 6}{x^2$ - 2x}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$x = 0$$

Question 13

Does the function $$h(x) = \begin{cases} -2x + 14 & x \leq 5 \ \sqrt{x^2$ - 9} & x \u003e 5 \end{cases}$$ have continuity at $$x=5$$?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because $$h(5)$$ and the left and right limits at $$x=5$$ are all equal.

Question 14

For $$f(x) = e$$^{\sqrt{x}$$ - 2}$$, on which interval is $$f(x)$$ continuous?

Accepted Answer

$$[2, \infty)$$

Question 15

Is $$h(x) = \sqrt{x^2$ - 9}$$ left-continuous at $$x=3$$?

Accepted Answer

No, because the domain is $$(-\infty, -3] \cup [3, \infty)$$, so left-continuity at $$x=3 is $$not possible.

Question 16

Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to determine if $$g(x) = x^5$ + 7x + 5$$ has a root in $$(-1, 0).$$

Accepted Answer

Yes, because $$g(-1)  0.$$

Question 17

Find all asymptotes of $$f(x) = \frac{x^2$ + x + 3}{|x|}.$$

Accepted Answer

Vertical asymptote at $$x=0$$; slant asymptote $$y=x+1 as$$ $$x 	o \infty$$, $$y=-x-1 as$$ $$x 	o -\infty.$$

Question 18

Determine the end behavior of $$f(x) = 1 - e$$^{-2x}$$ as x$$ 	o \infty$$ and x$$ 	o -\infty$$.

Accepted Answer

As $$x 	o \infty$$, $$f(x) 	o 1$$; as $$x 	o -\infty$$, $$f(x) 	o -\infty.$$

Question 19

A medication's concentration in the bloodstream is modeled by $$C(t) = e$$^{-2t}$$ + \frac{2}{t}$$, where $$t is in $$hours. What happens to the concentration as $$t 	o \infty$$?

Accepted Answer

It approaches $$0.$$
