<span>It is false since the rational function is discontinuous when the denominator is zero. But the denominator is a polynomial and a polynomial has only finitely many zeros. So the discontinuity points of a rational function is finite. </span>
For the sake of simplicity, let us say that the bottle contains x liters of water.
The pail originally contained x+3.68 L of water
After pouring out 1.2L, the pail contains x+(3.68-1.2)L or x+2.48 L
<span>
(a) How much more water did the pail contain than the bottle in the end?
Since the bottle contains x L of water, the pail (containing x+2.48 L of water) contains (x+2.48) - x more liters of water than the bottle or "the pail contained 2.48 L of water more than the bottle"
</span><span>(b) How much water did the bottle contain?
</span>We are told that after pouring the 1.2L of water out, the pail contained 3 times as much water as the pail. Therefore, 3x = x+2.48. Subtracting x from both sides gives us 2x = 2.48. Dividing both sides by 2 gives us x = 1.24L
We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.
Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.
, where r represents radius of sphere.
We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be 
cm.
Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.
Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
