The first answer is 48. The next answer is also 48.
Let's do

Release k for some while
If
So
So vertical asymptote is at origin now
It mentioned that it's at x=-5 so we need to change x


- Vertical asymptote at x=-5
Now
- for k=0 horizontal asymptote at origin
But it's given
Same put y=12 in place of k

The answer is Difference of Cubes.
Difference of cubes is a³ - b³.
27 can be written as 3³ (= 3 × 3 × 3 = 27). So, a = 3.
8 can be written as 2³ (= 2 × 2 × 2 = 8). So, b = 2.
Difference of cubes can be expressed as:
a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
⇒ 3³ - 2³ = (3 - 2)(3² + 3×2 + 2²) = 1 × (9 + 6 + 4) = 1 × 19 = 19
⇒ 27 - 8 = 19
4 slices of pizza. You get this by dividing the total amount of slices but the amount of people.
To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.
