The average fleet-wide performance of light duty trucks has made constant improvement since 1980. For example, the time for the

average 1080 light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was about 14.5 seconds. For 2005 models, that time was only 10.5 seconds.
A) Let m be the model year of a light-duty truck and T be the time in seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Write a linear function T(m) to model the situation.


B) Use your answer to part (A) to predict the time it will take the average light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2015, if the trend continues.

A) T(m) = -0.16m +331.3

B) T(2015) = 8.9 . . . seconds

_____
The linear regression function of a graphing calculator can find the equation of the line easily. Or, you can use the 2-point form of the equation of a line.
.. T(m) = (10.5 -14.5)/(2005 -1980)*(m -1980) +14.5
.. T(m) = -0.16(m -1980) +14.5

Answer: The fourth choice

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x) = 4x^{2} - 5x - (3x^{2} + 6x - 4) = x^{2} - 11x + 4

Part 3 - Discussion/Explanation Question
SpyIntel [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical asymptote can be Identites if there is a factor only in the denominator. This means that the function will be infinitely discounted at that point.

For example,

\frac{1}{x - 5}

Set the expression in the denominator equal to 0, because you can't divide by 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

So the vertical asymptote is x=5.

Disclaimer if you see something like this

\frac{(x - 5)(x + 3)}{(x - 5)}

x=5 won't be a vertical asymptote, it will be a hole because it in the numerator and denominator.

Horizontal:

If we have a function like this

\frac{1}{x}

We can determine what happens to the y values as x gets bigger, as x gets bigger, we will get smaller answers for y values. The y values will get closer to 0 but never reach it.

Remember a constant can be represent by

a \times  {x}^{0}

For example,

1 = 1 \times  {x}^{0}

2 =  2 \times {x}^{0}

And so on,

and

x =  {x}^{1}

So our equation is basically

\frac{1 \times  {x}^{0} }{ {x}^{1} }

Look at the degrees, since the numerator has a smaller degree than the denominator, the denominator will grow larger than the numerator as x gets larger, so since the larger number is the denominator, our y values will approach 0.

So anytime, the degree of the numerator < denominator, the horizontal asymptote is x=0.

Consider the function

\frac{3 {x}^{2} }{ {x}^{2}  + 1}

As x get larger, the only thing that will matter will be the leading coefficient of the leading degree term. So as x approach infinity and negative infinity, the horizontal asymptote will the numerator of the leading coefficient/ the leading coefficient of the denominator

So in this case,

x =  \frac{3}{1}

Finally, if the numerator has a greater degree than denominator, the value of horizontal asymptote will be larger and larger such there would be no horizontal asymptote instead of a oblique asymptote.
