Part 3 - Discussion/Explanation Question

Mathematics
1 answer:
SpyIntel [72]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical asymptote can be Identites if there is a factor only in the denominator. This means that the function will be infinitely discounted at that point.

For example,

\frac{1}{x - 5}

Set the expression in the denominator equal to 0, because you can't divide by 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

So the vertical asymptote is x=5.

Disclaimer if you see something like this

\frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{(x - 5)}

x=5 won't be a vertical asymptote, it will be a hole because it in the numerator and denominator.

Horizontal:

If we have a function like this

\frac{1}{x}

We can determine what happens to the y values as x gets bigger, as x gets bigger, we will get smaller answers for y values. The y values will get closer to 0 but never reach it.

Remember a constant can be represent by

a \times  {x}^{0}

For example,

1 = 1 \times  {x}^{0}

2 =  2 \times {x}^{0}

And so on,

and

x =  {x}^{1}

So our equation is basically

\frac{1 \times  {x}^{0} }{ {x}^{1} }

Look at the degrees, since the numerator has a smaller degree than the denominator, the denominator will grow larger than the numerator as x gets larger, so since the larger number is the denominator, our y values will approach 0.

So anytime, the degree of the numerator < denominator, the horizontal asymptote is x=0.

Consider the function

\frac{3 {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2}  + 1}

As x get larger, the only thing that will matter will be the leading coefficient of the leading degree term. So as x approach infinity and negative infinity, the horizontal asymptote will the numerator of the leading coefficient/ the leading coefficient of the denominator

So in this case,

x =  \frac{3}{1}

Finally, if the numerator has a greater degree than denominator, the value of horizontal asymptote will be larger and larger such there would be no horizontal asymptote instead of a oblique asymptote.

Josie took a road trip. She drove for 45 minutes at 70 miles per hour. Then she drove 15 minutes at 20 miles per hour. How far d
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Therefore Josie drove  57.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed: The ratio of distance to time.

To find the distance we use the following formula

Distance= time \times speed

Given that Josie drove 45 minutes at 70 miles per hour.

45 \ minutes= \frac{45}{60}\ h=\frac34\ h

In 45 minutes, she traveled  = (70\times \frac34) \ miles

                                                =52.5 miles.

The she drove 15 minutes at 20 mile per hour.

15 \ minutes= \frac{15}{60}\ h=\frac14\ h

In 15 minutes, she traveled =(20\times \frac 14) \ miles

                                            =5 miles

Therefore Josie drove (52.5+5) miles= 57.5 miles.

valina [46]

Answer:

3/4 (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

replace x with -2 in the function

3 · 2^-2  = 3 · 0.25

3 · 0.25 = 0.75

0.75 = 3/4

Find the surface area of the cylinder
Alik [6]

Answer:

Surface Area = 282.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: SA = 2\pirh + 2\pir²

SA = 2\pirh + 2\pir²

SA = 2(3.14)(5)(4) + 2(3.14)(5)

SA = 2(3.14)(5)(4) + 2(3.14)(25)

SA = 125.6 + 157

SA = 282.6 cm²
