determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. To avoid sign errors when finding \(h\) and \(k,\) I place parentheses around the numbers that follow the subtraction signs in a circle's equation.
Suppose that \(h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} .\) The function \(f\) can be even, odd, or neither. The same is true for the function \(g .\) a. Under what conditions is \(h\) definitely an even function? b. Under what conditions is \(h\) definitely an odd function?
complete the square and write the equation in standard form. Then give the center and radius of each circle and graph the equation. $$ x^{2}+y^{2}+8 x-2 y-8=0 $$
Exercises \(98-100\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. In Exercises \(98-99,\) solve each quadratic equation by the method of your choice. $$ -x^{2}-2 x+1=0 $$
Define a piecewise function on the intervals \((-\infty, 2],(2,5)\) and \([5, \infty)\) that does not "jump" at 2 or 5 such that one piece is a constant function, another piece is an increasing function, and the third piece is a decreasing function.
