(a)
To state: the domain of the given function.
(a)
Answer to Problem 31E
The domain of the given function is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider
Calculation:
The domain is the set of x values for which the function is defined.
The function
The function is define for all real values except at
Hence, the domain is
(b)
To identify: the intercepts of the given function.
(b)
Answer to Problem 31E
The x- intercept is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider
Calculation:
The x- intercept is the point at which the graph of the function crosses the x- axis.
The y- intercept is the p0int at which the graph of the function crosses the y- axis.
Hence, the x- intercept is
(c)
To find: the asymptotes of the given function.
(c)
Answer to Problem 31E
No asymptotes.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider
Calculation:
Degree of numerator is greater than the degree of denominator.
So, no horizontal asymptote.
To find vertical asymptote equate denominator to zero.
Hence, the asymptotes
(d)
To plot: the given function.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider
Graph:
The graph of the
