The variable was whether people approve or disapprove of the president. They were trying to poll just the people that live in the main part of the USA. There is slight bias that comes from excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
Ok
first of all, for q(x)/p(x)
if the degree of q(x) is less than the degree of p(x),then the horizontal assemtote is 0
then simplify
any factors you factored out is now a hole, remember them
to find the vertical assemtotes of a function, set the SIMPLIFIED denomenator equal to 0 and solve
so
y=(x-5)/(x^2-1)
q(x)<p(x)
horizontal assemtote is y=0
no factors to simplify so no holes
set denomenator to 0 to find vertical assemtote
x^2-1=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0
x=1
x+1=0
x=-1
the horizontal assemtotes are x=1 and -1
The answer is 32.07. Rounded to the nearest tenth is 32.1
You add up all of the values on both ends of the table
