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.

How to solve 4/7y-2 = 3/7 + 3/14
lisabon 2012 [21]
Solution

1) Simplify \frac{4}{7y}<span> to </span>\frac{4y}{7}
\frac{4y}{7} <span>−2= </span>\frac{3}{7} + \frac{3}{14}

2) Simplify \frac{3}{7} + \frac{3}{14} <span>to <span>914</span>
</span>\frac{4y}{7} <span>−2= </span>\frac{9}{14}

3) <span>Add 2 to both sides
</span>\frac{4y}{7} = \frac{9}{14} <span>+2
</span>
4) Simplify \frac{9}{14&#10;} <span><span>+2</span> to </span>\frac{37}{14}
\frac{4y}{7} = \frac{37}{14}

5) <span>Multiply both sides by 7
</span><span>4y= </span>\frac{37}{14} <span>×7
</span>
6) Simplify \frac{37}{14} <span><span>×7</span> to </span>\frac{259}{14}
\frac{4y}{7} =\frac{259}{14}

7) Simplify \frac{259}{14}<span> to </span>\frac{37}{2}
\frac{4y}{7} = \frac{37}{2}

8) <span>Divide both sides by 4
</span>y= \frac{37}{2} <span>×4
</span>
9) <span>Simplify <span>2×4</span> to 8
</span><span>y=</span>\frac{37}{8}
<span><span>
Hope this helps

What is the interquartile range of the set of data represented by the following box-and-whisker plot?
Valentin [98]
In descriptive statistics, the interquartile range<span> (</span>IQR<span>), also called the midspread or middle 50%, or technically H-spread, is a measure of statistical dispersion, being equal to the difference between 75th and 25th percentiles... ~ wikipedia

according to Wikipedia and some quick mental math the answer would be four

four is the difference between 14 and 18 which are respectively the 25th and 75th percentiles.</span><span />

Snow is falling at a rate of 2.5 inches per hour.At this rate, how long will it take 8 inches of snow to fall?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this be going "backwards".

You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:

2.5x=8  From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this

2.5x=8

/2.5    /2.5

8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get

x=3.2

It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall

Explain why you cannot find the prime factor derivation of 4.8
Ymorist [56]
"Prime Factorization" is finding which prime numbers multiply together to make the original number.

Because prime numbers are all whole numbers (no decimals), there is no way to get a product of prime numbers that is a decimal like 4.8.

In other words, because 4.8 is not a positive whole number, you can't find its prime factorization.
