Solution
(a) We have 2r2 -9r+10 = 2r2 -4r-5r+10= 2r(r-2) -5(r-2) = (r-2)(2r-5). Thus, the denominator is 0 when r=2 or r=5/2. Since division by 0 is not defined,the domain of k( r) is {r R:r2and r5/2} In interval notation, the domain of k( r) is (-, 2)U(5/2,).
(b) The k (r )-intercept is where r = 0. On substituting r = 0 in k ( r) = (2r2+5r-3)/(2r2 -9r+10), we have the k ( r) - intercept = -3/10.
(c ) The r-intercept is where k(r) = 0.Then 2r2+5r-3= 0 or, 2r2+6r-r-3=0 or, 2r(r+3)-1(r+3) = (r+3)(2r-1) which equals 0 when r = -3 or, r = ½. Thus, the r-intercepts are -3 and ½.
(d) The vertical asymptotes can be determined by finding the roots of the denominator, which are 2 and 5/2. Thus, the vertical asymptotes are r = 2 and r = 5/2.
(e) We have k (r ) =(2r2+5r-3)/(2r2 -9r+10)= (r+3)(2r-1)/(r-2)(2r-5).Since there is no factor common between the numerator and the denominator, there is no removable discontinuity. Thus, there is no hole.
(f ) The degrees of the numerator and the denominator are same and the coefficient of each of the numerator and the denominator is 2. Hence the horizontal asymptote is k( r) = 2/2 or, k( r) = 1.
