<em>x = -4 is a vertical asymptote for the function.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The graph of y=f(x) is a vertical has an asymptote at x=a if at least one of the following statements is true:

1) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{-}}{lim}f(x)=\infty\\ \\ 2) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{-}}{lim}f(x)=-\infty \\ \\ 3) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\infty \\ \\ 4) \ \underset{x\rightarrow a^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\infty

The function is:

f(x)=\frac{x^2+7x+10}{x^2+9x+20}

First of all, let't factor out:

f(x)=\frac{x^2+5x+2x+10}{x^2+5x+4x+20} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{x(x+5)+2(x+5)}{x(x+5)+4(x+5)} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{(x+5)(x+2)}{(x+5)(x+4)} \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}, \ x\neq  5

From here:

\bullet \ When \ x \ approaches \ -4 \ on \ the \ right: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=? \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(-4^{+}+2)}{(-4^{+}+4)} \\ \\ \\ The \ numerator \ is \ negative \ and \ the \ denominator \\ is \ a \ small \ positive \ number. \ So: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{+}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=-\infty

\bullet \ When \ x \ approaches \ -4 \ on \ the \ left: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=? \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(-4^{-}+2)}{(-4^{-}+4)} \\ \\ \\ The \ numerator \ is \ a \ negative \ and \ the \ denominator \\ is \ a \ small \ negative \ number \ too. \ So: \\ \\ \underset{x\rightarrow -4^{-}}{lim}\frac{(x+2)}{(x+4)}=+\infty

Accordingly:

x=-4 \ is \ a \ vertical \ asymptote \ for \\ \\ f(x)=\frac{x^2+5x+2x+10}{x^2+5x+4x+20}

You order a breakfast that costs $10.25 and a coffee that costs $3.45. You leave a 02% tip and the sales tax is 9.5%. What is th
Rasek [7]

Answer: the total cost of the meal is

$17.7415

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of the breakfast $10.25 and the original cost of the coffee is $3.45. This means that the total cost of the breakfast and the coffee was

10.25 + 3.45 = $13.7

You leave a 20% tip. This means that the amount of tip that you left is

20/100 × 13.7 = 0.2 × 13.7 = $2.74

The sales tax is 9.5%. This means that the amount of sales tax that you paid is

9.5/100 × 13.7 = 0.095 × 13.7 = $1.3015

Therefore, the total cost of the meal would be

13.7 + 2.74 + 1.3015 = $17.7415

A bowl of fruit contains only strawberries and grapes. For every 2 strawberries in a bowl there are 5 grapes.
sdas [7]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

S \to Strawberry

G \to Grape

The given parameter can be represented as:

S : G = 2 : 5

Required

The question is incomplete as what is required is not stated.

Possible questions could be to determine the number of strawberries given a certain number of grapes, and vice versa

Take for instance

Calculate the number of grapes when there are 20 strawberries

We have:

S : G = 2 : 5

This becomes

20 : G = 2 : 5

Express as fraction

\frac{20}{ G} = \frac{2 }{5}

Make G the subject

G = 20 * \frac{5}{2}

G = 10 * 5

G = 50

<em>i.e. 50 grapes</em>

<em>Apply the same method given a certain number of grapes</em>
