Solve this identifying holes, vertical asymptotes, and horizontal asymptotes for

USPshnik [31]

$x^2+7x+12=x^2+4x+3x+12=x(x+4)+3(x+4)=(x+4)(x+3)\\\\-x^2-3x+4=-(x^2+3x-4)=-(x^2+4x-x-4)\\\\=-[x(x+4)-1(x+4)]=-(x+4)(x-1)\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\dfrac{(x+4)(x+3)}{-(x+4)(x-1)}\\\\\text{Vertical asymptotes:}\\\\(x+4)(x-1)=0\iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\\boxed{x=-4\ and\ x=1}\\\\\text{Horizontal asymptotes:}$

$\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2\left(1+\dfrac{7}{x}+\dfrac{12}{x^2}\right)}{x^2\left(-1-\dfrac{3}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{-1}=-1\\\\\boxed{y=-1}$

Solve and check: 1 x + 3 = x + 10 x − 2 From least to greatest, the solutions are x = and x = .

blondinia [14]

Answer:

x= 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1x+3=x+10x−2

x+3=x+10x+−2

x+3=(x+10x)+(−2)(Combine Like Terms)

x+3=11x+−2

x+3=11x−2

Step 2: Subtract 11x from both sides.

x+3−11x=11x−2−11x

−10x+3=−2

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−10x+3−3=−2−3

−10x=−5

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x/−10=−5/−10x=1/2

Jim Tree sells trees. The mean length of the trees purchased was 68 inches with a standard deviation of 10 inches. Jim wants to

Zepler [3.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

Where,

X = raw score = 84

μ = mean = 68

σ = standard deviation = 10

Putting the values,

$Z=\dfrac{84-68}{10}=1.6$

The percent of his sales that were less than or equal to 84 inches, is

$P(Z\leq 1.6)=0.9452=94.52\%\approx 94.5\%$

Therefore, the remaining 100-94.5=5.5% were more than 84 inches.
