Digital SAT Math Practice Question #903
Test your problem-solving accuracy on this official-caliber item. Select an answer choice to check your reasoning instantly.
A hole occurs where a factor \( (x - c) \) cancels from both the numerator and denominator. Substitute \( x = 5 \) into the numerator to find the missing constant.
Desmos Shortcut: Enter \( f(x) \) into Desmos with a slider for the unknown constant. Slide it until the graph shows an open circle at \( x = 5 \) rather than a vertical asymptote!
For \( f(x) \) to possess a removable discontinuity at \( x = 5 \), the numerator must also have \( (x - 5) \) as a factor. Setting the numerator equal to 0 at \( x = 5 \) reveals the unknown coefficient. Factoring both the numerator and de...
