<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}

First the first 4 term for 4n-5
likoan [24]

Answer:

-1, 3, 7, 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find term 1. To find this term, we need to replace n with 1 - what is 4(1) - 5? Well, that's just 4 - 5, or -1. So, our first term is -1. Next, we'll find our second term. To do this, we'll replace n with 2. 4(2) = 8, and then 8 - 5 is equal to 3, so our second term is 3. Let's now find the third term by replacing n with the number 3. 4(3) - 5 is equal to 12 - 5, or 7. So, 7 is our third term. Finally, we'll find the fourth term. 4(4) is equal to 16, and 16 - 5 is equal to 11. So, the fourth and final term is equal to 11.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

1 and a half hours < 100 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and a half hours is equal to :

1 hour = 60 mins

half hour = 30 mins

60 + 30 = 90 mins

90 min is less than 100 mins

Therefore / ∴ :

1 and a half hours < 100 mins
