Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.

2/3x - 80 = 1/2x

Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.

(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x

1/6x - 80 = 0

Add 80 to both sides of the equation.

(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80

1/6x = 80

Divide both sides by 1/6.

(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6

x = 480

So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!

The slant asymptote of f(x)=x^2-4x+1/2x-3 is y=1/2x-5/4 <br> t or f
sveta [45]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a function is

f(x)=\frac{x^2-4x+1}{2x-3}

We are to find the slant asymptote if any for this function

Since numerator is of degree 2 and denominator 1, let us divide and then check

Doing long division we find

f(x)=\frac{1}{2} [x-\frac{5}{2} ]-\frac{11}{4(2x-3)}

Thus we find the asymptote y= the quotient obtained i.e

\frac{1}{2} [x-\frac{5}{2} ]\\=\frac{x}{2} -\frac{5}{4}

Hence asymptote is

y=1/2x-5/4

Statement given is true.
