Answer:

x = -8 and x = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptotes are lines that the function will never touch.

Since no number can be divided by 0, the function will not touch points where the denominator of the function is equal to 0.

$\frac{x - 6}{(x + 8)(x - 7)}$ , so the vertical asymptotes will be where (x + 8) = 0 and (x - 7) = 0.

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

The vertical asymptotes are at x = -8 and x = 7.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = -8 and x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that for a rational expression, the vertical asymptotes occur at x-values that causes the expression to become undefined. These occur when the denominator becomes zero.

Hence the asymptototes will occur in x-locations where the denominator , i.e

(x+8)(x-7) = 0

solving this, we get

(x+8) = 0 ----> x = -8

(x-7) = 0 ------> x = 7

hence the asymptotes occur x = -8 and x= 7

Find the values for c and d

baherus [9]

Answer:

c=-5

d=1

Step-by-step explanation:

$(cy^2)(4y^d)=-20y^3$

I'm going to reorder the left-hand side. Multiplication is commutative.

$(4c)(y^2y^d)=-20y^3$

Since the bases are the same in $y^2y^d$ and the operation is multiplication, I'm going to add the exponents giving me:

$4cy^{2+d}=-20y^3$

So this implies we have two equations to solve:

$4c=-20$ and $2+d=3$

So the first equation can be solved by dividing both sides by 4 giving you $c=-5$ .

The second equation can be solved by subtracting 2 on both sides giving you $d=1$ .

The equation of the line that is parallel<br> to 4x+2 and passing through (5,15)

Mila [183]

Answer:

y=4x-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

slop-interception form of the required line is y=kx+b, where k - slop, b - intercept;

1) to find value of k:

if the required line is parallel to the given line, then slop of the given line = slop of the required line, it means k=4 and the required line is y=4x+b;

2) to find the value of 'b':

if to substitute the given coordinates into the equation of the given line, then:

15=4*5+b, b= -5.

3) finally, y=4x-5

Suppose that a monopolist

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The monopolist's net profit function would be:

$N(y)=198\,y\,-\,2.5\,y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that perfect price discrimination means that the monopolist would be able to get the maximum price that consumers are willing to pay for his products.

Therefore, if the demand curve is given by the function:

$P(y)=200-2y$

P stands for the price the consumers are willing to pay for the commodity and "y" stands for the quantity of units demanded at that price.

Then, the total income function (I) for the monopolist would be the product of the price the customers are willing to pay (that is function P) times the number of units that are sold at that price (y):

$I(y)=y*P(y)\\I(y)=y\,(200-2y)\\I(y)= 200y-2y^2$
