Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent Ann's height, and let j represent Jay's height

Break up the sentence into the key parts.

"The difference between Ann's and Jay's heights" "is" "half of Jay's height"

"The difference between Ann's and Jay's heights" becomes the expression:

a - j

"is" is math means an equal sign '='

"half of Jay's height" becomes the expression: (1/2)j

Put the 3 parts together and get the equation:

a - j = (1/2)j,

Since all the equations in the answer choices are in terms of a, solve the above equation for a...

a = (1/2)j + j, which is answer H

Which are composite or prime<br> 9 , 2 , 15 , 21

Luda [366]

A composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors.
A prime number is a number who only have 2 factors (1, and itself)
Factors:-

9 = 1, 3, 9 = composite
2 = 1, 2 = prime
15 = 1, 3, 5, 15 = composite
21 = 1, 3, 7, 21 = composite

So, the prime #'s in this set are 2. The composite #'s in this set are 9, 15, and 21.

Determine the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes if any for h(x)=(x+1)^2/x^2-1

shepuryov [24]

ANSWER

Vertical asymptote:

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

y=1

EXPLANATION

The given rational function is

$h(x) = \frac{ {(x + 1)}^{2} }{ {x}^{2} - 1 }$

$h(x) = \frac{ {(x + 1)}^{2} }{ ({x} - 1)(x + 1)}$

$h(x) = \frac{ (x + 1)(x + 1) }{ ({x} - 1)(x + 1)}$

$h(x) = \frac{ x + 1}{ {x} - 1}$

The vertical asymptote occurs at

${x} - 1 = 0$

$x = 1$

The vertical asymptotes is x=1

The degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator.

The horizontal asymptote of such rational function is found by expressing the coefficient of the leading term in the numerator over that of the denominator.

$y = \frac{1}{1}$
