The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
It was reduced because as you can see on the scale the actual picture has larger spaces between the numbers.

Multiply 4.8 into (20/3), and multiply 16/9 with (1.2b)

Multiply 9 on both sides
19.2b = 32(9)
19.2b = 288 Divide 19.2 on both sides
b = 15
Using it's concept, it is found that the graph has no horizontal asymptote.
<h3>What are the horizontal asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>
The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.
In this problem, we have that:
- The function is undefined for x < 0, hence
is undefined.
- For x > 0, the funciton goes to infinity, hence
.
Thus, the graph has no horizontal asymptote.
