Answer: A slant or oblique asymptote.

Explanation:
When a function is a rational function whose denominator is one degree lower than the numerator, a slant or oblique asymptote occurs when the function is graphed.

Example:
Consider the rational function
y = (2x² + 2x + 3)/(x + 1)
The degree of the numerator is 2, and the degree of the denominator is 1 so that the degree of the numerator is one higher than that of the denominator.

After long division, obtain
                    2x
       -----------------------
x+1  |  2x²  + 2x  + 3
          2x²  + 2x
         -------------------
                             3

That is,
(2x²+2x+3)/(x+1) = 2x + 3/(x+1)
As x -> ∞, 3/(x+1) -> 0, and the curve behaves as the straight line y = 2x.
The curve, therefore, approaches the straight line with a slope of 2.
For this reason, it is called a slant or oblique asymptote.

The graph of this function is shown below to illustrate the concept.

What are irregular vowels controlled by w
Mama L [17]

Answer:

It is a vowel only when it teams up with an <a>, <e>, or <o> to spell a single sound—as in the words draw, few, and low. So the letter <w> is a vowel only in the two-letter teams <aw>, <ew>, and <ow>. Everywhere else <w> is a consonant

What is the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that passes through (3, -1) and (-1,5)?
romanna [79]
m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{5 - (-1)}{-1 - 3} = \frac{5 + 1}{-4} = \frac{6}{-4} = \frac{3}{-2} = -1\frac{1}{2}
  y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-1) = -1¹/₂(x - 3)
  y + 1 = -1¹/₂(x) + 1¹/₂(3)
  y + 1 = -1¹/₂x + 4¹/₂
      - 1              - 1
         y = -1¹/₂x + 3¹/₂

  4x + y - 2 = 0
            + 2 + 2
       4x + y = 2
4x - 4x + y = -4x + 2
               y = -4x + 2
         y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
      y - (-3) = -4(x - 4)
         y + 3 = -4(x) + 4(4)
         y + 3 = -4x + 16
             - 3            - 3
               y = -4x + 13

  2x - 3y - 5 = 0
             + 5 + 5
2x - 2x - 3y = -2x + 5
             -3y = -2x + 5
              -3         -3
                y = ²/₃x - 1²/₃
       y - (-3) = -1¹/₂(x - 4)
          y + 3 = -1¹/₂(x) + 1¹/₂(4)
          y + 3 = -1¹/₂x + 6
              - 3              - 3
                y = -1¹/₂x + 3
