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
