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.

Answer: 2285.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the simple interest formula, we have P = A / (1 + rt), where P is the Principal, r is the annaul rate and t is the time period.

r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year.

Solving the equation:

P = 3200 / ( 1 + (0.05 × 8)) = 2285.7142857143

1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d-2) how to solve
natita [175]
Greetings!

Solve for d.
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d-2)
Distribute the Parenthesis.
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4*d+1/4*-2
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d+1/4*-2/1
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d-2/4
Reduce.
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d-1/2
Add -2/3 to both sides.
(1/6d + 2/3)+(-2/3)=(1/4d-1/2)+(-2/3)
Simplify.
1/6d=1/4d-3/6-4/6
1/6d=1/4d-7/6
Add -1/4d to both sides.
(1/6d)+(-1/4d)=(1/4d-7/6)+(-1/4d)
Simplify.
2/12d)-3/12d=-7/6
-1/12d=-7/6
Divide both sides by -1/12.
(-1/12d)/-1/12=(-7/6)/-1/12
Simplify.
d=(-7/6)*-12/1
d=84/6
Reduce.
d=14/1
d=14

Hope this helps.

In this problem, how would I find the value of Z ?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

z = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

WX and VU are congruent

2z + 10 = z + 45

subtract z from both sides (z + 10 = 45)

subtract 10 from both sides (z = 30)

the answer is z = 30
