AI Thread Summary
The function f(x) = (ax+b)/(x-c) is analyzed under three conditions: symmetry about the y-axis, a limit approaching positive infinity as x approaches 2 from the right, and a derivative value of -2 at x=1. The discussion reveals that setting c=2 leads to complications in solving for a and b, with participants expressing frustration over the lack of a clear solution. One contributor suggests that the original question may have been misstated, indicating it should have been (ax+b)/(x^2-c) instead. Ultimately, the consensus is that the problem as presented does not yield a solution for a, b, and c.

f(x) = (ax+b)/(x-c) has the following properties

i) the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis
ii) lim x->2^+ f(x) = + infinite
iii) f^prime (1) = -2

a) Determine the values of a, b and c.

i think c = 2

derivative of f(x) = (-ca - b)/(x-c)^2

so f^prime(1) = -2

-ca-b = (1-c)^2 * -2

if c = 2 then b = -2a + 2

I'm stuck from here. I have no idea how to do this. I tried using this equation
(ax+b)/(x-2) = (-ax + b)/(-x-2)

since symmetric over y-axis and i plugged in b, but it turned out to be useless. Please help. thanks

Check the question again, and the 3 conditions. As the question is stated, I don't think there's any solution for a,b and c.
 
I agree. There seems to be no solution.
 
thanks for your time. This was all my teacher's fault. He didn't give us the correct question. It was (ax+b)/(x^2-c). Wow what a waste of time. I solved it anyways though, and again thanks for all your time.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
