Show all work to identify the asymptotes and zero of the faction f(x) = 4x/x^2 - 16.
1 answer:
Answer:
- asymptotes: x = -4, x = 4
- zeros: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical asymptotes of the rational expression are the places where the denominator is zero:
x^2 -16 = 0
(x -4)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . true for x=4, x=-4
x = 4, x = -4 are the equations of the vertical asymptotes
__
The zeros of a rational expression are the places where the numerator is zero:
4x = 0
x = 0 . . . . . . divide by 4

so 4/5 of A is really 80% of A then.
since a whole A is 100% of A, 100% - 80% = 20%, A is being reduced by 20%, namely 1/5.
( - 45, 0)
to find the x-intercept let y = 0 in the equation
x = 0 → x = - 15
multiply both sides by 3
x = 3 × - 15 = - 45
x-intercept = ( - 45, 0)
