Answer: b) {-3, 0.5}
Step-by-step explanation:
The new equation is the original equation plus 6. Move the original graph UP 6 units. The solutions are where it crosses the x-axis.
[tex]\text{Original equation:}\quad f(x)=\dfrac{15}{x}-\dfrac{9}{x^2}\\\\\\\text{New equation:}\quad\dfrac{15}{x}+6=\dfrac{9}{x^2}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad f(x)= \dfrac{15}{x}-\dfrac{9}{x^2}+6[/tex]
+6 means it is a transformation UP 6 units.
Solutions are where it crosses the x-axis.
The curve now crosses the x-axis at x = -3 and x = 0.5.
