Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.
Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:
5-5 = 0
So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.
To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.
In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)
so the degrees would be equal.
Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.
This makes the first choice the correct answer.

Given:
Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.
Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.
Together the three teams scored 184 points.
To find:
The required equation for this scenario.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.
Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.
Bees score = 3x-9
Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.
Wasps score = x+28
Together the three teams scored 184 points.

Therefore, the required equation is
.
The answer would be 3z(5x + 7y)
