(1) The vertical asymptote is x = 0
(2) The horizontal asymptote is y = 0
</span><span>
Explanation:</span><span>(1) To find the vertical asymptote, put the denominator of the rational function equals to zero.
Rational Function = g(x) = </span></span>

<span>
Denominator = x = 0
Hence the vertical asymptote is x = 0.
(2) To find the horizontal asymptote, check the power of x in numerator against the power of x in denominator as follows:
Given function = g(x) = </span>

<span>
We can write it as:
g(x) = </span>

If power of x in numerator is less than the power of x in denomenator, then the horizontal asymptote will be y=0.
If power of x in numerator is equal to the power of x in denomenator, then the horizontal asymptote will be y=(co-efficient in numerator)/(co-efficient in denomenator).
If power of x in numerator is greater than the power of x in denomenator, then there will be no horizontal asymptote.
In above case, 0 < 1, therefore, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0

Answer: y=-6x-57
Step-by-step explanation: the normal format of a linear equation is
y=(slope)x+y intercept. The slope is -6 so y=-6x+y intercept. Plugging in the cordinates, -3=-9(-6)+y intercept. We'll call the y intercept b. -3=54+b. Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation and you get b=-54. The linear equation is
y=-6x-57.
You can check by plugging in x= -9, and y= -3. -3=54-57. -3=-3
The cattle train
speed - 36.5 km/h
time - x h
the passenger train
speed - 29.2 km/h
time - (2.4+x) h
The cattle train caught up to the passenger train so the distance they travelled is the same.
Distance is speed times time.

The passenger train travelled for
12 hours before the cattle train caught up.
