Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
l -1 l = 1
1 - -1 = 2
i HOPE U UNDERSTOOD!! :)
If the antique's value increases over time, it must be growing (not decaying) in value.
We're told the value increases by 12.12%, which means that if the current value is

, then the value after 1 year is

. Each year, the value increases by the same factor, which means after 2 years, the value is

; after 3 years, the value is

; and so on.
Here

is the starting value of the antique. So the answer is the second choice.

Answer: Choice A) y = 2</h3>
How I got that answer:
The degrees of both the numerator and denominator polynomial are both 2
Degree of 10x^2 is 2
Degree of 5x^2+1 is 2
Because the degrees are equal, this means we divide the leading coefficients 10 and 5 to get 10/5 = 2.
As x gets really really large, in either positive or negative direction, then y is slowly going to approach y = 2.
A graph helps confirm this. See below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
It looks like it actually gets to y = 2, but in reality its just getting really really close that it gives that illusion.
