Yay, easy peasy, nice refresher


53. evaluate for x=infinity
we get 100/(infiniy^2-5) which is basically 100/infinity which is a very small number so about 0



54.
vertical assemtotes, neato
that is where the denomenator equals 0
but wait, simplify first
ok, fraction is simplified (anything factored out would be a hole)
so set the denom to 0 and solve
x^2-5=0
(x-√5)(x+√5)=0
x=-√5 and √5
vertical assemtotes at x=-√5 and x=√5




55. horizontal assemtotes
for the function p(x)/f(x)

if p(x) has lower degree than f(x) then y=0 is the horizontal assemtote

if p(x) has equal degree to f(x) then divide the leading coefients of p(x) and f(x)

if p(x) has greater degree than f(x) then we got slant assemtotes

100/(x^2-5)
100 has lower degree than x^2
y=0 is the horizontal assemtote



56. evalate for x=-5
we get -150/-10=150/10=15
the limit is 15



57. that negative on the right side means that we must approach it from the left
let's see if we can factor out the denomenator
nope
so go and evaluate values like 4, 4.5, 4.9, etc, approaching x=5 from the left
we keep getting smaller and smaller valuse
this make sense because as x approaches 5, we get 30(c)/(c-5) where c is close to 5, and as c appraoches 5 very close, the top part is appraoching 150 but the bottom approaches a very small negative number, and if we do something like 150/-0.00000000001, we get a very negative number
the limit is negative infinity

alternately, you could figure that there is a vertical assemtote at x=5 so we can see that if we aproximaate closer and closer values, we get smaller values. so from what we know about assemtotes, expecially vertical ones, we say that it approaches negative infinity




58.
evalauating we get infintity/inifinty, not helpful
hmmm, is there a horizontal assemtote to help us?
the degree of top is higher so we got a slant assemtote
the only way is to use long division to divide the top by the bottom (see attachment)
we get
\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2x+1}
the slant assemtote is y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}
as you can see, as x approaches infinity, y also will approach infinity











ANSWERS:
53. 0
54. VA is x=-√5 and x=√5
55. HA is y=0
56. the limit is 15
57. the limit is -∞
58. the limit is ∞

I need the answer to all 4 questions
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There is no figure 0.

b) From one figure to the other there are 2 more cubes

c) Number of cubes = 3 + 2(n- 1)

where n is the number of figure

d)

Number of cubes in figure 100 = 3 + 2(100 - 1)

                                                   = 3 + 2(99)

                                                   = 3 + 198

                                                  = 201

The perimeter of parallelogram ABCD is 30 cm. AD is 3cm more than twice AB FIND THE LENGTH OF AB
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a parallelogram is 2b+2h=30 where b is base and h is height.

if AD is 3cm more than twice AB, then it's 3+2x where x is length of AB.

Input this into the perimeter equation: 2(3+2x)+2(x)=30

Simplify to get 6+6x=30

x=24/6=4

Answer is 4 cm.
