Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

If the expression $3^1 times 9^2 times 27^3 \times 81^4 is simplified to the form 3^n, what is the value of n?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$n=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$3^1\times 9^2\times 27^3\times 81^4$

The given expression needs to be simplified to the form $3^n$

Applying the exponents rule to simplify.

$3^1\times 9^2\times 27^3\times 81^4$

Writing all numbers as product of 3.

⇒ $3^1\times (3\times3)^2\times (3\times3\times3)^3\times (3\times3\times3\times3)^4$

Writing each in exponents form.

⇒ $3^1\times (3^2)^2\times (3^3)^3\times (3^4)^4$

Using power of a power rule $[\ (a^x)^y=a^{xy}\ ]$

⇒ $3^1\times 3^4\times 3^9\times 3^16$

Using multiplication rule of exponents $[\ a^x\times a^y=a^{x+y}\ ]$

⇒ $3^{1+4+9+16}$

⇒ $3^{30}$

So we have $3^n=3^{30}$

∴ $n=30$

X^2 - 10x - 20 = 0, which number would have to be added to "complete the square"?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you're completing the square you're adding (b/2)^2 which in this case is (-5)^2 or 25. This is because when you rewrite it as a square binomial you write it in the form (x+(b/2))^2 which is going to result in x^2+b+(b/2)^2. Since you need to reach 25 you need to add 45 since the last value is at -20.
