Answer:

Vertical Asymptote:

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

it does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

f(x)=log_3(x-1)

Vertical asymptote:

we know that vertical asymptotes are values of x where f(x) becomes +inf or -inf

we know that any log becomes -inf when value inside log is zero

so, we can set value inside log to zero

and then we can solve for x

x-1=0

we get

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

we know that

horizontal asymptote is a value of y when x is +inf or -inf

For finding horizontal asymptote , we find lim x-->inf or -inf

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)= \lim_{x \to \infty}log_3(x-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=log_3(\infty-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=undefined

so, it does not exist

The asymptote for the graph of this logarithmic function is at x = 1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An asymptote of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity. Whereas the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation and any exponential function can be expressed in logarithmic form.

First we solve log_3(x-1) = 0

Raise both sides of the equation by the base of the logarithm:

3^(log_3(x-1)) = 3^0

Because any non-zero number raised to 0 equals 1, the right side simplifies to 1

By using the property of logarithms that b^{(logbx)} = x, where the left side simplifies to x-1

The equation is simply: x - 1 = 1

So x = 2.

The domain of a logarithmic function is the set of all positive real numbers. For example f(x) = log x also has an asymptote at x =0. But, since our function is log (x-1), we will move the asymptote to the right by 1 unit. Thus, x = 1.  Which explains that the graph will never touch at x=1 which will be the vertical asymptote.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer: y = 2.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents the number of tickets sold, and because each ticket costs $2.50, the expression would be 2.50x to find how much money is raised, which can be represented as y.

Find negative x when x is negative seven
Free_Kalibri [48]
Thus, we multiply the numbers together as we normally would, and then put a negative sign in front of our answer. So, 4 x -3 = -12. Please note that this also works when the negativenumber comes first and the positive number is second. For example, you may see it written -3 x 4, but don't get confused

The patient recovery time from a particular surgical procedure is normally distributed with a mean of 5.3 days and a standard de
inna [77]

Answer:

<em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = 0.5445</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given mean of the Population μ = 5.3 days

Given standard deviation of the population 'σ' = 2 days

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

Let    x₁ = 4

Z_{1} = \frac{x_{1}-mean }{S.D} = \frac{4-5.3}{2} = -0.65

Let    x₂ = 7

Z_{2} = \frac{x_{2}-mean }{S.D} = \frac{7-5.3}{2} = 0.85

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em></u>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = P(-0.65≤Z≤0.85)</em>

<em>              =  P(Z≤0.85) - P(Z≤-0.65)</em>

<em>             = 0.5 + A( 0.85) - ( 0.5 - A(-0.65) </em>

<em>             = 0.5 + A( 0.85) -  0.5 +A(0.65)   ( ∵A(-0.65) = A(0.65)</em>

<em>            =   A(0.85) + A(0.65)</em>

<em>           = 0.3023 + 0.2422</em>

<em>          = 0.5445</em>

<u><em>Final answer:</em></u><em>-</em>

<em>The probability of spending between 4 and 7 days in recovery</em>

<em>P(4≤x≤7) = 0.5445</em>

As part of a drug trial, a survey was done to gather information about the participants' experiences with side effects. Here are
Paraphin [41]

The Venn diagram which represents the distribution of the participant in the drug trial is attached below. The Number of participants in the drug trial that has anxiety is 370

We can find the number of participants who has dizziness(D). Fatigue(F) and anxiety(A) can be calculated thus :

n(D) = n(D only) + (DnF only) + (DnA only) + (DnAnF)

271 = 36 + 86 + 23 + x

271 = 145 + x

x = 271 - 145

x = 126

  • n(DnAnF) = 126

<u>Number who has </u><u>atleast one of the three</u><u> side effects can be expressed thus</u> :

n(A only) + n(F only) + n(D only) + (DnF only) + (DnA only) + (DnAnF) + n(FnA only) = 585

36 + 23 + 62 + 86 + 126 + 93 + n(FnA) only = 585

  • n(FnA only) = 585 - 426 = 159

<u>Number of participants</u><u> who has </u><u>anxiety</u><u> can be calculated thus</u> :

n(DnAnF) + (DnA only) + n(FnA only) + n(A only)

126 + 23 + 159 + 62 = 370 participants

Therefore, 370 of the total participants has Anxiety.
