If a is an arbitrary nonzero constant, what happens to a/b as b approaches 0

It depends on how b approaches 0

If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.

On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.

The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.

Naily [24]

Answer:

The length of each side is 12cm.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by the formula:

P=4a, where P=perimeter, and a=length of any side, all sides being equal in a square.

From the given data we write:

48=4a

Divide both sides by 4.

12=a

The length of each side is 12cm.
