Answer:

Correct answer: C. f(x) = 2(3)x + 4

(please note we changed the expression of the function to exponential form which we believe is the correct form of the question)

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal Asymptote

The graph of a function is said to have a horizontal asymptote at y=a if one or both the following limits exist

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}f(x)=a$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}f(x)=a$

The horizontal asymptotes are horizontal lines to which the function tends when x increases or decreases without limits.

Let's analyze each one of the options provided:

A. f(x) = 2x -4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2x-4)=+\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}(2x-4)=-\infty$

No horizontal asymptote

B. f(x) = -3x + 4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(-3x+4)=-\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow -\infty}(-3x+4)=\infty$

No horizontal asymptote

C. f(x) = 2\cdot 3^x + 4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2\cdot 3^x + 4)=2\cdot 3^\infty + 4=\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(2\cdot 3^x + 4)=2\cdot 3^{-\infty} + 4=0+4=4$

This function has a horizontal asymptote at y=4

D. 3\cdot 2^x -4

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(3\cdot 2^x - 4)=3\cdot 2^\infty - 4=\infty$

$\lim\limits_{x \rightarrow \infty}(3\cdot 2^x- 4)=3\cdot 2^{-\infty} - 4=0-4=-4$

This function has a horizontal asymptote at y=-4

Correct answer: C.

How do you solve 3/5×4 1/6?

Helen [10]

$\frac{3}{5}$ × $4 \frac{1}{6}$

First, convert $4\frac{1}{6}$ to an improper fraction. Use this rule: $a \frac{b}{c}$ = $\frac{ac+b}{c}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{4x6+1}{6}$
Second, simplify 4 × 6 to 24. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{24+1}{6}$
Third, simplify 24 + 1 to 25. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{25}{6}$
Fourth, apply this rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3x25}{5x6}$
Fifth, simplify 3 × 25 to 75. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{75}{5x6}$
Sixth, simplify 5 × 6 to 30. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{75}{30}$
Seventh, simplify. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{5}{2}$
Eighth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like: $2\frac{1}{2}$

Answer: $2 \frac{1}{2}$

Which conditional statement has a false converse?

exis [7]

Consider the converses:

a) If two planes have no points in common, then they are parallel. (true)

b) If a point lies on the y-axis, then it has x-coordinate 0. (true)

c) If two angles have the same measure, then they are congruent. (true)

d) If a figure has four sides, then it is a square. (FALSE) (A figure with 4 sides may not even be a plane figure.)

Solve for x, Show your work: 1/2 (16 - x) = -12 (x + 7)

soldi70 [24.7K]

You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8
