What characteristic in the graph of the rational function defined by g(x)=(x+5)(x−3)(x+5)(x−7)g(x)=\frac{(x+5)(x-3)}{(x+5)(x-7)}g(x)=(x+5)(x−7)(x+5)(x−3)​ indicates there is a hole rather than an asymptote at x=−5x=-5x=−5?

If the cost per unit, c(x), to produce x items is modeled by the rational function c(x)=5000x+10c(x) = \frac{5000}{x} + 10c(x)=x5000​+10, at what quantity of items does producing one more item decrease the cost by exactly $5?
