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.

One number is 6 more than a second number, the sum of the two numbers is 330. what are the numbers?
maksim [4K]

Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>.  We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.

We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.

We also know that 330 = x + y.

Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.

Now all we need to do is simplify the equation.  First, we subtract 6 from both sides:

330 - 6 = 324

2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.

So we have 324 = 2y.  Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:

162 = y

Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:

x = 162 + 6

x = 168

Let's check to make sure our answer is right.  168 is 6 more than 162.  162 + 168 equals 330.  So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

Find the area of the shaded region. Round to the nearest tenth.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 8.35 ft

area of circle = πr² = 69.7225π ft²

θ = 5π/9 radians

area of unshaded segment = r²(θ-sinθ)/2 ≅ 26.51 ft²

shaded region = 69.7225π - 26.51 ≅ 192.53 ft²

A scale for a drawing is 5 centimeters= 1 meter. What is the scale in terms of centimeter to centimeters
umka2103 [35]

The scale in cm to cm is:

1 cm = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Scales are used to draw maps and blueprints of large objects on paper.

Given scale is:

5 centimeters = 1 meter

WE have to find the centimeter to centimeter scale. In order to do so, we have to convert the meters into centimeters

As there are 100 centimeters in a meter

So,

the scale will be:

5 cm = 100 cm

Simplifying:

The scale in cm to cm is:

1 cm = 20 cm
