a)


b)
Since we can't divide by zero, we need to find when:

But before, we can factor the numerator and the denominator:

Now, we can conclude that the vertical asymptotes are located at:

so, for x = -3:


For x = 4:

Depending on how flexibly you interpret "about 20 times larger" to mean, the answers are B and D.
Check the ratios of the larger number to the smaller number:
A: (2.01 x 10^7)/(4.25 x 10^6) = 2.01/4.25 x 10^1 = 20.1/4.25 = 4.729
B: (8.21 x 10^-3)/(4.13 x 10^-4) = 8.21/4.13 x 10^1 = 82.1/4.13 = 19.879
C: (4.91 x 10^6)/(5.09 x 10^3) = 4.91/5.09 x 10^3 = 4910/5.09 = 964.637
D: (5.97 x 10^4)/(3.12 x 10^3) = 5.97/3.12 x 10^1 = 59.7/3.12 = 19.135
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
if y = 5 then
(√10-1) -1 = 2
3 - 1 = 2
true
The answer for your problem is shown on the picture.
Try this solution:
let the unknown two-digits number be 'xy'.
Then it is possible to write any two-digit number as 10x+y, where x - the tens digit and y - the unit digit.
Using the rule described above the phrase 'the tens digit of a number is twice the units digit' may be written as x=2y.
Using the same rule the phrase 'if the digits are reversed, the new number is 36 is less than the original number' may be written as (10x+y)-(10y+x)=36.
These two equations may be resolved as system of two equations:

Check: the original number is 84, the new number is 48; difference is 84-48=36.
answer: 84
