Answer: option d. x = 3π/2Solution:function y = sec(x)
1) y = 1 / cos(x)
2) When cos(x) = 0, 1 / cos(x) is not defined
3) cos(x) = 0 when x = π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ...
4) limit of sec(x) = lim of 1 / cos(x).
When x approaches π/2, 3π/2, 5π/2, 7π/2, ... the limit →+/- ∞.
So, x = π/2, x = 3π/2, x = 5π/2, ... are vertical asymptotes of sec(x).
Answer: 3π/2
The figures attached will help you to understand the graph and the existence of multiple asymptotes for y = sec(x).
We are to find the time at which the height of basketball thrown by Eli and Karl is equal. We have the functions which model the heights of both basketballs. So by equating the functions representing the height of both basketballs we can find the value of x from that equation at which the height is same for both basketballs.

Thus after 1.25 seconds the height of basketballs thrown by Eli and Karl will be at the same height. This can be verified by finding the heights of both at x=1.25
For Eli:

For Karl:

Thus height of both basketball is equal after 1.25 seconds
The answer to this is 19. The reason why is because the median falls between 18 and 20. After that, you have to take the middle number that falls between 18 and 20. In this case, 19.
