The variables are: time(the independent variable or (x) variable) and number of handbags (the dependent variable or (y) variable). The variables helps to plot an accurate points on the graph.
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.
The general equation of the circle is expressed as (x-h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle. we are are given the center of the circle at (0,0) so the expression is simplified to <span>(x)2 + (y)2 = r2. given the other point, r2 is equal to 41. hence the final equation is x2 + y2 = 41</span>
