Answer: A
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertical asymptote is the restriction on the x-value. Since the denominator cannot be equal to zero, then x + 1 ≠ 0 → x ≠ -1. So, the vertical asymptote is: x = -1
The horizontal asymptote is the restriction on the y-value. Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the horizontal asymptote is y = 0. However, there is a vertical shift of 2 units up so the horizontal asymptote is: y = 2
The only graph that displays these asymptotes is the first graph, <em>which I call graph A.</em>
When the sign is < or > (less than/greater than), you graph an open circle.
When the sign is ≤ or ≥ (less than/greater than <u>or equal to)</u>, you graph a closed circle.
The 4th option is your answer since the sign is ≥
Answer:
A:29
Step-by-step explanation:
-a^2 - 3b^3 + c^2 + 2b^3 - c^2 = -a^2 - b^3 = -(3)^2 - (2)^3 = -(9) - 8 = -9 - 8 = -17
