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.

Determine the singular points of the given differential equation. Classify each singular point as regular or irregular. (Enter y

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The differential equation; $(x^2-4)^2y'' + (x + 2)y' + 7y = 0$

The above equation can be better expressed as:

$y'' + \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x^2-4)^2} \ y'+ \dfrac{7}{(x^2- 4)^2} \ y=0$

The pattern of the normalized differential equation can be represented as:

y'' + p(x)y' + q(x) y = 0

This implies that:

$p(x) = \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x^2-4)^2} \$

$p(x) = \dfrac{(x+2)}{(x+2)^2 (x-2)^2} \$

$p(x) = \dfrac{1}{(x+2)(x-2)^2}$

Also;

$q(x) = \dfrac{7}{(x^2-4)^2}$

$q(x) = \dfrac{7}{(x+2)^2(x-2)^2}$

From p(x) and q(x); we will realize that the zeroes of (x+2)(x-2)² = ±2

When x = - 2

$\lim \limits_{x \to-2} (x+ 2) p(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to2} (x+ 2) \dfrac{1}{(x+2)(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \lim \limits_{x \to2} \dfrac{1}{(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{16}$

$\lim \limits_{x \to-2} (x+ 2)^2 q(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to2} (x+ 2)^2 \dfrac{7}{(x+2)^2(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \lim \limits_{x \to2} \dfrac{7}{(x-2)^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{7}{16}$

Hence, one (1) of them is non-analytical at x = 2.

Thus, x = 2 is an irregular singular point.

What is the quotient 2y^-6y-20/4y+12 ÷ y+5y+6/3y^2+28y+27

malfutka [58]

Answer with explanation:

$\rightarrow \frac{\frac{2y^2-6 y-20}{4 y+12}}{\frac{y^2+5 y+6}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{\frac{y^2-3y-10}{2 y+6}}{\frac{(y+2)(y+3)}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{\frac{(y-5)(y+2)}{2 (y+3)}}{\frac{(y+2)(y+3)}{3 y^2+28 y+27}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{(y-5)(y+2)}{2 (y+3)}} \times {\frac{3 y^2+28 y+27}{(y+2)(y+3)}}\\\\ \rightarrow\frac{(y-5)\times(3 y^2+28 y+27)}{2 (y+3)^2}}$

→y²+5y+6

=y²+3 y+2 y+6

=y×(y+3)+2×(y+3)

=(y+2)(y+3)

→y² -3 y-10

=y² -5 y+2 y -10

=y×(y-5)+2×(y-5)

=(y+2)(y-5)
