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.

Rodney is given twi equations:x-y=11 and 2x+y=19
lozanna [386]

Answer:

x= 10 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite your second equation Y= -2x+ 19 then plug it into the first equation.

x- (-2x + 19) = 11

x + 2x - 19 =11

3x - 19 = 11

3x = 30

x = 10

The plug that answer into the first equation and solve.

10 - y = 11

-y = 1

y = -1
