Answer:

  y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any asymptotes of a rational function will be described by the quotient of the numerator and denominator (excluding any remainder).

  f(x)=\dfrac{-2x}{x+1}=-2+\dfrac{2}{x+1}

The horizontal asymptote is ...

  y = -2

Answer:

<h2> y = –2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1}

An asymptote refers to a restriction in the domain or range set of the function. This happens to rational functions, because there's a scenario where the function is undetermined: when its denominator is zero.

So, in this case, the value that makes the denominator zero is

x+1=0\\x=-1

That means, we need to restrict the domain for x=-1. But this is a vertical asymptote.

To find horizontal asymptotes, we need to find the restrictions for the range of the function, we do that isolating y.

y=\frac{-2x}{x+1}\\yx+y=-2x\\yx+2x=-y\\x(y+2)=-y\\x=-\frac{y}{y+2}

So, if we analyse the denominator

y+2=0\\y=-2

Therefore, the restriction is y=-2. In other words, the vertical asymptote is the first choice.

Can someone please explain to me the difference between SAS and SSS in Geometry when dealing with triangle proofs?
ANTONII [103]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:   SAS = side - angle -side    congruence

              SSS  = side - side - side     congruence


Discussion :

In Plane Geometry,  identical triangles are said to be "congruent". There are several ways, depending upon the information you have, to prove 2 triangles are congruent.

In one approach ("SSS") if you can show that 2 triangles have identical side lengths,  then the triangles are congruent. (A triangle has 3 sides, hence "SSS" -- 3 S's; 3 sides, get it?)

In another approach ("SAS") if you can show that 2 sides, and the angle included between those sides, in one triangle are identical to the sides and included angle in another triangle,  then the triangles are congruent

It's easier to understand this with a picture or diagram than in words. Please review the SSS, SAS picture in your textbook

That looks great! But say you chose number 2. You could say you organized it by multiplying single packs by the pieces of packs.
