Simplifying h(x) gives
h(x) = (x² - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x² + 4x + 4) - 4x - 4 - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7x - 8) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 14 - 8) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 22) / (x + 2)
h(x) = (x + 2) - 7 - 22/(x + 2)
h(x) = x - 5 - 22/(x + 2)
An oblique asymptote of h(x) is a linear function p(x) = ax + b such that

In the simplified form of h(x), taking the limit as x gets arbitrarily large, we obviously have -22/(x + 2) converging to 0, while x - 5 approaches either +∞ or -∞. If we let p(x) = x - 5, however, we do have h(x) - p(x) approaching 0. So the oblique asymptote is the line y = x - 5.
The answer is a = 
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction</em>
To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.
The denominator remains the same.
So, 2
will be 
<em>2. Now the equation is,</em>
a -
a =
+
a
<em>3. Take LCM on both sides. </em>
For the left side, multiply the first fraction by
and multiply the second fraction by 
a -
a = 
<em>4. Solve by making a the subject</em>
= 
= 
=10+8a
= 10 + 8a
a = 2(10 + 8a)
a = 20 + 16a
a-16a = 20
-15a = 20
a = 
a = 
Therefore, the answer is a =

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1680 mile road trip....they completed 3/8 of it...
so we need to figure 3/8 of 1680
" of " in math language means multiply
3/8 * 1680 = 5040/8 = 630 miles <===
