W(x)=4x+5, find w(-8)

2 answers:

If I remember properly, the number in the parentheses will be substitute the x on the other side of the equation sign. So w(-8)=4(-8)+5, or -40+5 which is equal to -35

Just Put -8 in for X 4(-8)+5 goes to -32+5 to 27

Determine the vertical asymptote for the rational function f(x) = x - 4 over 2x - 3

k0ka [10]

Answer:

x = $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = $\frac{x-4}{2x-3}$

The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.

Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = $\frac{3}{2}$

Thus x = $\frac{3}{2}$ is the vertical asymptote

What is the ratio of x to y?

abruzzese [7]

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

$\frac{2x+y}{2} = \frac{2x}{3}$ = k

so we have:

2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k

x= $\frac{3}{2} k$

$\frac{x}{y}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

The corect answer is A. -3/2

or:

$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}$

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

We use a property of proportions:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$ where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),

so we have

$\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}$ or

$\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}$ (you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")

$\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{(2x+y)-2x}{2x} = \frac{2-3}{3}$

$\frac{y}{2x} = \frac{-1}{3}$

3y = - 2x

$\frac{x}{y} = -\frac{3}{2}$
