Find the gradient of the curve y=-x^-3-5x^2+7x at x=2

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:
