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.

Identify the linear term in the function of y = 2x2 − 5x − 12
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The linear term is -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear term is the term that has the degree equal to 1.

The given function is

y = 2x^2 − 5x − 12

here 2x^2 = quadratic term i.e having degree 2

-5x = linear term i.e having degree 1

-12 = constant

so, The linear term is -5x

Please help 4 math pages with questions. 1 has all the circle graphs, and all the other 3 have each circle graphs question. Plea
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Favorite chip Answers v

Step-by-step explanation:

1. How many were surveyed? 82+8+18+62=100

2. How many said Jalepeno was their favorite? 8/100 0r 2/25 or 8%

3. How many said BBQ was their favorite?62/100 or 31/50 or 62%

4. How would it effect your final answer if the percentages did not add up to 100%? This means that your percentages are wrong. In a circle graph the percentages always equal 100%!

5. Is it possible to determine a missing percentage in a circle graph? Yes, we can always assume the total percentage is 100 so you add your given percentages together and then subtract that total from 100 to find the missing percentage.
