Answer:
- vertical asymptote: x = 7
- slant asymptote: y = x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertical asymptotes are found where a denominator factor is zero (and there is no corresponding numerator factor to cancel it). Here, that is at x = 7.
There is no horizontal asymptote because the numerator is of higher degree than the denominator.
When you divide the numerator by the denominator, you get ...
y = (x +9) +60/(x -7)
Then when x gets large, the behavior is governed by the terms not having a denominator: y = x +9. This is the equation of the slant asymptote.
Answer:
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know distance formula,
D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
T is time
If we let speed of boat (assume) to be "x" and speed of current to be "c"
Then downstream rate is (with current) = x + c
Upstream rate is (against current) = x - c
40 mins to go 20 miles downstream, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x + c)(40)
and
60 minutes to go upstream, 20 miles, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x - c)(60)
Simplifying first equation:
40x + 40c = 20
Simplifying second equation:
60x - 60c = 20
Multiplying first equation by 60, we get:
60 * [40x + 40c = 20] = 2400x + 2400c = 1200
Multiplying second equation by 40, we get:
40 * [60x - 60c = 20] = 2400x - 2400c = 800
Now we add up both these equations:
2400x + 2400c = 1200
2400x - 2400c = 800
----------------------------------
4800x = 2000
x = 2000/4800 = 5/12
We need speed of current, that is "c", so we plug in the value of x into first equation and solve for c:
Speed of Current = 1/12 miles per minute
Since there is 60 minutes in an hours, that would be:
(1/12) * 60 = 5 miles per hour
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
