You asked what it is. It is a "one-step" linear equation in x.

The solution is found by multiplying both sides of the equation by -4. That gives you ...

... x = -100

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Find the future value of an annuity due of $7,000 paid at the beginning of each 6-month period for 8 years if the interest rate

Oliga [24]

Answer: Im not sure but i think its 120,960

Step-by-step explanation: i know that there is 2 of the 6-month periods in a year and multiplied that by 8 and got 16. Then i did 7000x.08=560 and then i added that to 7000 and got 7560. FInally i multiplied that by 16 and got 120,960.

ms.Alonzo ordered 4,000 markers for her store. only one tenth of them arrived . how many markers did she receive

ale4655 [162]

Ms. Alonzo received 400 markers because one tenth of 4000 is 400. Hope this helped!

A research paper recommends using Poisson process to model the number of failures in commercial water pipes The paper also gives estimates the failure rate in units of failures per 100 miles of pipe per day; for four different types of pipe and for many different years_ For example, for cast iron pipe in 2005, the authors' estimate is the failure rate is 0.0864 failures per 100 miles per day: Suppose a town had 2500 miles of cast iron pipe underground in 2005 What is the probability of at least two failures
