(Kevin) y= k-6 - k minus six

(Melanie) y= 2(k-6) - two times k minus six

K, only got that far... sorry

Would you solve the equation 0.25x + 7 = 1/3x – 8 <br> using fractions or decimals? Explain please.

Answer:

$x = 180$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the value of $x$ :

$0.25x + 7 = \frac{1}{3}x - 8$

-Combine $\frac{1}{3}x$ and $0.25x$ by subtracting $0.25x$ by $\frac{1}{3}x$ :

$0.25x - \frac{1}{3}x + 7 = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{1}{3}x - 8$

$-\frac{1}{12}x + 7 = -8$

-Subtract $7$ on both sides:

$-\frac{1}{12}x + 7 - 7 = -8 - 7$

$-\frac{1}{12}x = -15$

-Multiply both sides by $-12$ , the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{12}$ :

$\frac{-\frac{1}{12}x}{-\frac{1}{12}} = \frac{-15}{-\frac{1}{12}}$

$x = -15 (-12)$

$x = 180$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is $180$ .

Determine the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, if any, for y=x^3/(x-2)^4

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the vertical asymptotes of the function f(x) you must find the limit when x tends k of f(x). If this limit tends to infinity then x = k is a vertical asymptote of the function.

$\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} \\\\\\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{2^3}{(2-2)^4}\\\\\lim_{x\to\\2}\frac{2^3}{(0)^4} = \infty$

Then. x = 2 it's a vertical asintota.

To obtain the horizontal asymptote of the function take the following limit:

$\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4}$

if $\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} = b$ then y = b is horizontal asymptote

Then:

$\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^3}{(x-2)^4} \\\\\\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{1}{(\infty)} = 0$

Therefore y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote of f(x).

Then the correct answer is the option a) x = 2, y = 0

What is the square root of -372

wel

Answer:

19.2873015 (Done by a calculator) <---- could be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

And fun fact:

Negative numbers don't have real square roots since a square is either positive or 0. The square roots of numbers that are not perfect square are members of irrational numbers. This means that they can't be written as the quotient of two integers.

Hope it helps!
