Answer:
find the value of x that makes the denominator zero: x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
A vertical asymptote shows up where the denominator is zero. As the denominator gets closer to zero, the function value gets larger without bound (unless there is a numerator factor that cancels the one in the denominator).
To find the value of x at the vertical asymptote, solve the equation ...
denominator = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7 . . . . . . . add 7 to both sides
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
now, if say, by the time they meet, Mr Cunningham has travelled "d" miles, that means Mrs Cunningham must also had travelled "d" miles as well.
However, he left 3 hours earlier, so by the time he travelled "d" miles, and took say "t" hours, for her it took 3 hour less, because she started driving 3 hours later, so, she's been on the road 3 hours less than Mr Cunningham, so by the time they meet, Mrs Cunningham has travelled then "t - 3" hours.
Rearrange the formula given to determine the slope, you will see that in y=mx+b form the slope is -2/3
You now have the slope (m) and two test points. Input those values into y=mx+b and you will have your answer!
I got y=(-2/3)x+(22/3) which I'm quite certain is correct.
Answer
27 days
Step-by-step explanation:
father= 45 days
oldest son + father=27 days
youngest + father= 36 days
45-27=18
45-36=9
18+9=27
so it would take 27 days for both sons to complete the house
18 days=oldest son
9 days =youngest son
