f(x) = \frac{-2x^{2} + 3x + 6}{x + 2}

                  -2x + 7
x + 2|-2x² + 3x + 6
         -2x² -  4x
                   7x + 6
                  -7x + 14 
                   14x - 8

f(x) = \frac{-2x^{2} + 3x + 6}{x + 2} = -\frac{2x^{2} + 3x + 6}{x + 2} = -2x + 7 + \frac{14x - 8}{x + 2}

y = -2x + 7

The answer is A.

Answer:  First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=\frac{-2x^2+3x+6}{x+2}

We need to find the horizontal or oblique asymptote .

Since the degree of numerator is more than the degree of denominator.

So, it has oblique asymptote.

\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}-2x^2+3x+6\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x+2\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{-2x^2}{x}=-2x\\\\\mathrm{Quotient}=-2x\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x+2\mathrm{\:by\:}-2x:\:-2x^2-4x\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}-2x^2-4x\mathrm{\:from\:}-2x^2+3x+6\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}\\\\\mathrm{Remainder}=7x+6\\\\\mathrm{Remainder}=7x+6\\\\=-2x+\frac{7x+6}{x+2}

And,

\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}7x+6\mathrm{\:and\:the\:divisor\:}x+2\mathrm{\::\:}\frac{7x}{x}=7\\\\\mathrm{Quotient}=7\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x+2\mathrm{\:by\:}7:\:7x+14\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}7x+14\mathrm{\:from\:}7x+6\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}\\\\\mathrm{Remainder}=-8\\\\Therefore,\\\\\frac{7x+6}{x+2}=7+\frac{-8}{x+2}

At last, we get,

-2x+7-\frac{8}{x+2}

Hence, the oblique asymptote of f(x) is

y=-2x+7

Therefore, First option is correct.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

200N

Step-by-step explanation:

I would think it would be 200 N because since there all pushing equally hard you would divide 600 by 3 which is 200 each

HOW CAN THE DISTANCE FORMULA HELP ME DETERMINE WHETHER A QUADRILATERAL ON A COORDINATE PLANE IS A PARALLELOGRAM
Dominik [7]
The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem because the length of one leg of the triangle will always be the difference of the x-coordinates, and the length of the other leg will always be the difference in the y-coordinates<span>

Next time you see an elderly man, check out his nose and ears! While most parts of the human body stop growing as we reach adult
never [62]

Answer:

a) Hypothesis:

H_{0}: \mu_{Nose}^{Male} = \mu_{Nose}^{Female}

H_{a}: \mu_{Nose}^{Male} > \mu_{Nose}^{Female}

Where \mu_{Nose}^{Male}, \mu_{Nose}^{Female} represent the average nose size of male and female respectively.

In words,

H_{0}: Males and females have the same size noses, on average.

H_{a}: Males have bigger noses than females, on average.

b) We have evidence that males have bigger noses than females, on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The study wishes to investigate if males have bigger noses than females, on average. By hypothesis test, the null hypothesis is the hypothesis we usually want to reject. That is, we want to prove that the male and female nose sizes are not the same. Hence, the null hypothesis will assume equality. And we state that:

H_{0}: Males and females have the same size noses, on average.

H_{a}: Males have bigger noses than females, on average.

b) We are told that the p-value < 0.01. In general, if the assume 5% as the level of significance (\alpha). The decision is:

If p-value is less than the \alpha, the test is significant otherwise, the test is insignificant.

The given p-value is less than 5% => 0.05, therefore, we say the test is significant. and we conclude that, we have evidence that males have bigger noses than females, on average.
