What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f(x)= -2x/x+1

<u>Answer:</u>

-2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.

Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:

1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.

2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.

3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.

Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.

Horizontal asymptote = -\frac{2}{1} = -2

What is the slope of the line below
Sphinxa [80]

6/-2 because it would have to be how tall the run is from point 0 which would be 6 and the other side is -2. Or if you need to simplify it you would get 3/-1.

Ben wants to get a 94 in math class. His grade will be the average of two test scores. He scored an 89 on the first test. What g
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Ben needs to get a 99% on his second test

Step-by-step explanation:

The average is the sum of both test scores, divided by the total number of test scores (2).

Let x by the grade Ben must receive on his second test.

(89 + x)/2 = 94

Multiply by 2 on both sides

89 + x = 188

Subtract 89 on both sides

x = 99

Check work:

(89 + 99)/2 = 188/2 = 99
