Questions and Answers

A rational function has a vertical asymptote at $x = a$ and a hole at $x = b$. Which of the following statements must be true regarding the function's form?

  • The denominator of the simplified form of the rational function is zero at $x = a$ and $x = b$.
  • The original (unsimplified) rational function has a factor of $(x - b)$ only in the denominator and a common factor of $(x - a)$ in both the numerator and the denominator.
  • The numerator of the simplified form of the rational function is zero at $x = a$ and $x = b$.
  • The original (unsimplified) rational function has a factor of $(x - a)$ only in the denominator and a common factor of $(x - b)$ in both the numerator and the denominator. (correct)

Consider two vectors, $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$, in three-dimensional space. Which of the following conditions implies that $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$ are orthogonal (perpendicular)?

  • $||\vec{u} - \vec{v}|| = ||\vec{u}|| - ||\vec{v}||$
  • $||\vec{u} + \vec{v}|| = ||\vec{u}|| + ||\vec{v}||$
  • $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} = ||\vec{u}|| \cdot ||\vec{v}||$
