Answer:

There is a vertical asymptote for the rational function at x = −7. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.

x + 7 = 0 → x = −7

Step-by-step explanation:

D:x^2-4\not=0\\
D:x^2\not=4\\
D:x\not=-2 \wedge x\not =2\\\\
\displaystyle
\lim_{x\to-2^-}\dfrac{(x-9)(x+7)}{x^2-4}=\\
\dfrac{(-2-9)(-2+7)}{(-2^-)^2-4}=\dfrac{-11\cdot5}{4^+-4}=\dfrac{-55}{0^+}=-55\cdot\infty=-\infty\\
\dfrac{(-2-9)(-2+7)}{(-2^+)^2-4}=\dfrac{-11\cdot5}{4^--4}=\dfrac{-55}{0^-}=-55\cdot(-\infty)=\infty


\displaystyle
\lim_{x\to2^-}\dfrac{(x-9)(x+7)}{x^2-4}=\\
\dfrac{(2-9)(2+7)}{(2^-)^2-4}=\dfrac{-7\cdot9}{4^--4}=\dfrac{-63}{0^-}=-63\cdot(-\infty)=\infty\\
\dfrac{(2-9)(2+7)}{(2^+)^2-4}=\dfrac{-7\cdot9}{4^+-4}=\dfrac{-63}{0^+}=-63\cdot\infty=-\infty\\

So, the vertical asymptotes are x=\pm 2

Water rushes over Niagara Falls at the rate of 180 million cubic feet every 30 mins. How much water goes over the falls in 1 min
Korolek [52]
Simply divide the amount of water by the time, your equation would be 180,000,000/30=6,000,000. So your answer would be 6,000,000 cubic feet.

Draw the graph of the line that is parallel to y−3=1/3(x+2) and goes through the point (1,7).
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the given line.

y - 3 = 1/3(x+2)

y - 3 = (1/3)x + 2/3

y = (1/3)x + 2/3 + 3

y = (1/3)x + 11/3

Compare it with

y = mx + c

We get m = 1/3

As the parallel lines have same slope, the slope of the second line will also be m= 1/3

y = mx + c

y = (1/3)x + c

As this line goes through the point (1,7), substitute it in the equation:

7 = (1/3)1 + c

7 = 1/3 + c

c = 7 - 1/3

c = 21-1/3

c = 20/3

The equation of the line is found by substituting m = 1/3 and c = 20/3 into the general equation

y = mx + c

y = (1/3)x + 20/3

Graph of the equation is shown

Including a 5 percent sales tax, a hotel charges $147 per night. What’s the cost without the tax
Arisa [49]
For one night WITH SALES TAX, it would be $154.35, but without sales tax, it would just be $147.. unless you add tip, you would just multipy the original by the percent of the tip then add that answer to the original price.

Solving Steps:

WITH SALES TAX :
$147 x 5% = 7.35 or $147 x .05 = 7.35
147 + 7.35 = $154.35
