Answer:

There are no holes. The VAs are x=4 & x=-4  the HA is  x=2 the x intercepts are  (-3,0) & (3,0)  and the y intercept is (0,9/8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  f ( x ) =2 x ^2 − 18/x^2-16

find all asymptotes, holes and intercepts.

Factor the numerator and denominator.

f ( x ) =2 ( x ^2 − 9 )/( x + 4 ) ( x − 4 )

f ( x ) =2 ( x +3 ) ( x − 3 )/( x + 4 ) ( x − 4 )

A hole exists when the numerator and denominator contain the same factor (a factor "cancels out"). This function has no holes.

To find the vertical asymptote(s) (VA), find the values of  x

which make the denominator equal zero. The function is undefined at these values of  x

because you cannot divide by zero.

Set each factor of the denominator equal to zero and solve.

x + 4 = 0  and x − 4 = 0

x = − 4  and  x = 4

These are the VAs.

To find the horizontal asymptote(HA), compare the degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degrees are the same, the HA is the ratio of the leading coefficients.

For  f ( x) =2 x ^2 − 18/x^2-16

the degree in both numerator and denominator is  2

and the ratio of the leading coefficients is 2/1=1

The HA is  x = 2

The  x  intercept is the value at which the function (or "y") equals zero. If the numerator is zero, the function equals zero.

2 ( x + 3 ) ( x − 3 ) = 0

x + 3 = 0    x − 3 = 0

x = − 3   and  x = − 3

The  x  intercepts are  ( − 3 , 0 )  and  ( 3 , 0 ) .

The  y  intercepts are found by setting  x = 0 .

f ( 0 ) = 2 ( 0 ) ^2 − 18/( 0 )^2 − 16 = 9 /8

The  y  intercept is  ( 0 , 9/ 8 ) .

Answer:

Andrew walks more steps than Sarah.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Andrew and Sarah are tracking the number of steps they walk. Andrew records that he can walk 6000 steps in 50 minutes. Sarah writes the equation y=118x, where y is the number of steps and x is the number of minutes she walks, to describe her step rate. This week, Andrew and Sarah each walk for a total of 5 hours. Who walks more steps?

Solution:

Given:

Andrew walks 6000 steps in 50 minutes.

Number of steps Sarah walks is given by the equation :

y=118x

where y is the number of steps and x is the number of minutes she walks.

Finding the number of steps each walks in 5 hours.

Total number of minutes in 5 hours = 5\times 60 = 300\ min

For Andrew:

Using unitary method:

If in 50 minutes Andrew walks = 6000 steps.

In 1 minute he will walk = \frac{6000}{50} = 120 steps

In 300 minutes he will walk = 120\times 300 = 36000 steps

Thus, Andrew will walk 36,000 steps in 5 hours.

For Sarah:

We will plugin x=300 in the equation and solve for y.

We have:

y=118(300)

∴ y=35400

Thus, Sarah will walk 35,400 steps in 5 hours.

Therefore, Andrew walks more steps than Sarah as 36,000>35,400.

Heyy could you help me out with this problem???​
vivado [14]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of all the variables in the side lengths, we don't have enough information to use side-angle-side similarity.

We do have two angles of one triangle congruent to two corresponding angles of the other triangle, so we can use angle-angle similarity.

Sides AE and AD are corresponding sides. Sides AC and AB are corresponding.

Answer: C

Find if all the ratios are proportional to 1:8. 2:16 is, so is 3:24, and 4:32. 4.5*8=36, and 5:40 is proportional. 6:48 is, and 6.5*8=52. The table is proportional, just divide the pay by the hours and you should be getting 8.
