Answer:

(10x ^ 2 - 70 * x +120) / (x ^ 2 + 7 * x +12)

Step-by-step explanation:

First a rational function is a function that is in the form a / b.

Knowing this, we proceed to calculate the asymptotes in x.

Vertical asymptotes

So that there is an asymptote in x, in a rational function the easiest thing is that the denominator is 0. Therefore, for the asymptotes x = -3 and x = -4, we make it 0 in both cases. That is to say:

x + 3 = 0

x + 4 = 0

both, in the denominator. For the moment it would be something like this:

 1 / (x + 3) * (x + 4)

X Intersections

Now, for intersections, what we should do equation 0, and that the solution of x us of the value we want, in this case x = 3 and x = 4. Because here the denominator does not influence because when equal to 0 to a rational function, the denominator becomes 0. Similarly, it is equal to 0 as in the previous case, only this time they would go in the numerator. It would be:

x - 3 = 0

x - 4 = 0

 Therefore, the function would go like this: (x - 3) * (x - 4) / (x +3) * (x + 4),

Operating the following we have:

(x ^ 2 -4 * x - 3 * x +12) / (x ^ 2 + 4 * x + 3 * x +12)

(x ^ 2 - 7 * x +12) / (x ^ 2 + 7 * x +12)

having asymptotes at x = -3 and x = -4, and intersection at (3.0) and (4.0), that is x = 3 and x = 4.

Horizontal asymptote.

Finally, in the case of the horizontal asymptote, which must be y = 10, what must be done is to divide all the terms by the highest degree term, in this case it is x ^ 2. It would be as follows:

(x ^ 2 / x ^ 2 - 7 * x / x ^ 2 + 12 / x ^ 2) / (x ^ 2 / x ^ 2 + 7 * x / x ^ 2 + 12 / x ^ 2)

Now, x ^ 2 / x ^ 2 = 1, and all the others have to be 0, therefore it would remain (1 + 0 + 0) / (1 + 0 + 0) = 1

So for the asymptote to be 10, the entire denominator must be multiplied by 10, thus being:

10 * (x ^ 2 - 7 * x +12) / (x ^ 2 + 7 * x +12)

(10x ^ 2 - 70 * x +120) / (x ^ 2 + 7 * x +12)

And this equation would already comply with everything required in the problem.

The root \sqrt{10} can be converted into the power 10^{ \frac{1}{2} }. Therefore we can rewrite the problem as (10^{ \frac{1}{2} } )^ {\frac{3}{4} x} and then follow the exponent rules about a power to a power, multiplying 1/2 and 3/4 together.

Thus the problem becomes 10^{\frac{3}{8}x}, which then can be turned into \sqrt[8]{10} ^{3x}, making the last option our answer.

Monica [59]

Answer: k = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the complete question:

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve the equation. A number k increased by 7 is 34.

An increase in k simply means that there's an addition. This will be:

k + 7 = 34

k = 34 - 7

k = 27

Therefore, the value of k is 27
