F(x)=(x²+6x-8)/(x-8) has a vertical asymptote at x=8. When x is large f(x) approaches x which is a 45 degree line (gradient 1). There is no horizontal asymptote.

Answer:

There is no horizontal asymptote for the function f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function f(x) = \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8}. Notice that if x=8 the function is not defined, because the denominator of the fractions equals zero, and the numerator don't. This fact is equivalent to the existence of a vertical asymptote at x=8. In mathematical language:

\lim_{x\rightarrow 8^+} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8} = +\infty

and

\lim_{x\rightarrow 8^-} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8} = -\infty.

Now, in case that f(x) has an horizontal asymptote the following must hold:

\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8} = L\in\mathbb{R}

But, actually

\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8} = \infty.

Hence, there is no horizontal asymptote.

Anyway, f(x) has an asymptote, but no horizontal. In order to obtain the slope of the asymptote, we need to find the following limit:

\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} = \frac{f(x)}{x} = \lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x(x-8)} = \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x^2-8x} = 1.

Then asymptote has equation y=x+n. To find n we calculate the limit

\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} (f(x)-mx) = \lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} \frac{x^2+6x-8}{x-8} -x = \lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty} \frac{14x-8}{x-8} = 14

Hence, the asymptote at +\infty is y = x+14.

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Fantom [35]
Hello again! So we will be using the pythagorean theorem (leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2) to solve for the bottom leg of the triangles. After we do that, we'll subtract the value of the legs from 31, and that'll be x.


Plug in 17 and z (or any variable that isn't x) into the leg variable and 19 into the hypotenuse variable, and from there we can solve.

17^2+z^2=19^2

Solve the exponents to get 289+z^2=361

Subtract 289 on each side to get z^2=72

Lastly, square root each side of the equation and your answer should be z= \sqrt{72} (To get more accurate answers, you shouldn't round until the end of the problem)


Nextly, we will need to subtract \sqrt{72} from 31. And since there are 2 triangles, you'll need to multiply \sqrt{72} by 2.

x=31- \sqrt{72} *2 \\ x=14.0

In short, x = 14.0
