Answer:
it is greater than
Step-by-step explanation:
The order of operations helps keep answers for multi-step equations similar. If the proper order of operations are not followed, then answers may vary. To show an example:
4 / 2 - 1
The proper order of operations would be:
Divide first, before subtracting
4 / 2 - 1
2 - 1
1
But if subtracting was done before dividing:
4 / 2 - 1
4 / 1
4
So not following the proper order would yield different and erroneous answers.
Just plug in the values for m
so the possible values for k are
when m=5
when m=7
when m=9
so the possible values for k are {4,5,6}
The limit is x---->4-
The negative show that x approaches from the left
Now
As x approaches 4 from the left ... Means This number should be less than 4 (<4) but really close to 4.
Let's pick a Number
Say 3.99
Substitute this... You have
3.99/3.99-4
3.99/-0.01
If we choose x to be 3.999
we will have
3.999/-0.001
Notice the pattern... As x approaches 4 from the left... This limit will approach NEGATIVE INFINITY
Why?
As you approach 4 from the left... 3.9,3.99,3.999... You notice that the denominator becomes negative and EXTREMELY SMALL... and when you divide by an extremely small Number..... You'll get a relatively HUGE VALUE(You can try this... Use a calc... Divide any number of choice by a very small number... say.. 0.0000001.... You'll get a huge result
In our case... The denominator is negative... So it Will Approach a very Huge Negative Number
Hence
Answer.. X WILL APPROACH NEGATIVE INFINITY.
Vertical asymptotes are the zeroes of the denominator of a function
The denom. is x-4
Equate to zero to get the asymptote
x-4=0
x=4
Hence... There will be a vertical asymptote at x=4.
Have a great day!
so all those quadratics have their parent y = x², which has the graph of a "bowl".
and depending on the coefficient, the bowl is wider or not.
the larger the coefficient, the narrower the bowl, the smaller the coefficient, the wider the bowl.
well, 1/2 is smaller then 2, thus y = (1/2)x² is wider than y = 2x².
