$x^2+7x+12=x^2+4x+3x+12=x(x+4)+3(x+4)=(x+4)(x+3)\\\\-x^2-3x+4=-(x^2+3x-4)=-(x^2+4x-x-4)\\\\=-[x(x+4)-1(x+4)]=-(x+4)(x-1)\\\\f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\dfrac{(x+4)(x+3)}{-(x+4)(x-1)}\\\\\text{Vertical asymptotes:}\\\\(x+4)(x-1)=0\iff x+4=0\ \vee\ x-1=0\\\\\boxed{x=-4\ and\ x=1}\\\\\text{Horizontal asymptotes:}$

$\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{-x^2-3x+4}=\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\dfrac{x^2\left(1+\dfrac{7}{x}+\dfrac{12}{x^2}\right)}{x^2\left(-1-\dfrac{3}{x}+\dfrac{4}{x^2}\right)}=\dfrac{1}{-1}=-1\\\\\boxed{y=-1}$

When writing a linear equation in standard form, what other forms might you need to use?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

there are 2 other forms, point-slope form and slope-intercept form.

Step-by-step explanation:

standard is $Ax + By =C$

point-slope is $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1})$

slope-intercept is $y=mx+b$

Consider the function f(x)equalscosine left parenthesis x squared right parenthesis. a. Differentiate the Taylor series about 0

dybincka [34]

I suppose you mean

$f(x)=\cos(x^2)$

Recall that

$\cos x=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$

which converges everywhere. Then by substitution,

$\cos(x^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{(x^2)^{2n}}{(2n)!}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{4n}}{(2n)!}$

which also converges everywhere (and we can confirm this via the ratio test, for instance).

a. Differentiating the Taylor series gives

$f'(x)=\displaystyle4\sum_{n=1}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{nx^{4n-1}}{(2n)!}$

(starting at $n=1$ because the summand is 0 when $n=0$ )

b. Naturally, the differentiated series represents

$f'(x)=-2x\sin(x^2)$

To see this, recalling the series for $\sin x$ , we know

$\sin(x^2)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^{n-1}\frac{x^{4n+2}}{(2n+1)!}$

Multiplying by $-2x$ gives

$-x\sin(x^2)=\displaystyle2x\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{4n}}{(2n+1)!}$

and from here,

$-2x\sin(x^2)=\displaystyle 2x\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{2nx^{4n}}{(2n)(2n+1)!}$

$-2x\sin(x^2)=\displaystyle 4x\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{nx^{4n}}{(2n)!}=f'(x)$

c. This series also converges everywhere. By the ratio test, the series converges if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(-1)^{n+1}\frac{(n+1)x^{4(n+1)}}{(2(n+1))!}}{(-1)^n\frac{nx^{4n}}{(2n)!}}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac{n+1}{(2n+2)!}}{\frac n{(2n)!}}=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n+1}{n(2n+2)(2n+1)}$

The limit is 0, so any choice of $x$ satisfies the convergence condition.

Jessica has saved $50. She will add $25 to her savings each week. Ron has saved $40 and will add $25 to his savings each week.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Jessica will have saved $175, and Ron will have saved $165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica starts out with $50. She adds $25 each week, and it's asking how much money she would have in 5 weeks. So, you multiply $25 by 5 to get $125. Then, you add $50 to that to get $175. Same thing for Ron. Multiply $25 by 5 to get $125, but this time add $40 to it to get $165.
