Problem 3

Here is a point on a circle centered at \((0,0)\).

Which equation defines the circle?

A circle on a coordinate plane, center at the origin. The point 6 comma 8 lies on the circle.
A:

\(x  + y = 10\)

B:

\(x^2 + y^2 = 10\)

C:

\(x^2 + y^2 = 100\)

D:

\((x-6)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 100\)

Problem 5

Match each polynomial with its end behavior as \(x\) gets larger and larger in the positive and negative directions. (Note: some of the answer choices are not used and some answer choices may be used more than once.)

A:

\(f(x)=\dfrac{6}{x-6}\)

B:

\(g(x)=\dfrac{3x}{x-6}\)

C:

\(h(x)=\dfrac{3x-18}{x-6}\)

D:

\(k(x)=\dfrac{3x^2-16x+12}{x-6}\)

E:

\(m(x)=\dfrac{(x+5)(x-4)(x-6)}{x-6}\)

1:

The graph approaches \(y=6\).

2:

The graph approaches \(y=3\).

3:

The graph approaches \(y=0\).

4:

The graph approaches \(y=x^2+x-20\).

5:

The graph approaches \(y =3x^2+16x-12\).

6:

The graph approaches \(y=3x+2\).

7:

The graph approaches \(y=x-3\).
