Solution-

Equating the denominator to 0,
⇒ (x+3)(x+1) = 0
⇒ x= -3, -1
∴ Discontinuities of the function f(x) is at -3, -1
As (x+3) is also a factor of the numerator, you will have what's called a removable discontinuity. That will show up as a hole in the graph.
∴ At x = -3, you will have removable discontinuity.

As I understand, in this exercise, we have the following numbers:

By using calculator, let's convert those numbers into decimal form:

So arranging from least to greatest we have:

Put another way:

Answer:
D. Obtain a cluster sample by randomly selecting 20 counties and visiting every restaurant within those counties.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this executive wants to minimize cost and expenses he should use a cluster sample of 20 counties and using the selected counties as a representative of the whole. Cluster sampling is a good and useful way of doing market research. It is more economical than other sampling methods and as the executive cannot get information on the whole population, he would be able to get information from the clusters.
If 9 of the sparrows is 45% of the birds in the backyard, 9/x = 45/100.
Cross multiply to get 9 * 100 = 45x; simplified is 900 = 45x or 20.
This means that there are 20 birds in the backyard. You can check this by dividing 9/20 which equals 45%
