Absolute value is the magnitude of a number without regard to its sign. for example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of -5 is also 5!
I think the answer would have to be C if I am right
Sorry this answer is unacceptable
Answer:
f(x) = 0.5(x + 3)^2 + 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal stretch is given by multiplying by 1/2 or 0.5:
f(x) = 0.5x^2
Now a shift of 3 to the left gives f(x) = 0.5(x + 3)^2.
5 units up gives 0.5(x + 3)^2 + 5.
So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:
- Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
- Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator:

- Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0
Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>
