Answer:
y=3x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
I think that this is what they mean...
y=mx+b
y=3x+b
y=3x+5
plug in #s
5=15+5
5=20 no
Steps:
1) determine the domain
2) determine the extreme limits of the function
3) determine critical points (where the derivative is zero)
4) determine the intercepts with the axis
5) do a table
6) put the data on a system of coordinates
7) graph: join the points with the best smooth curve
Solution:
1) domain
The logarithmic function is defined for positive real numbers, then you need to state x - 3 > 0
=> x > 3 <-------- domain
2) extreme limits of the function
Limit log (x - 3) when x → ∞ = ∞
Limit log (x - 3) when x → 3+ = - ∞ => the line x = 3 is a vertical asymptote
3) critical points
dy / dx = 0 => 1 / x - 3 which is never true, so there are not critical points (not relative maxima or minima)
4) determine the intercepts with the axis
x-intercept: y = 0 => log (x - 3) = 0 => x - 3 = 1 => x = 4
y-intercept: The function never intercepts the y-axis because x cannot not be 0.
5) do a table
x y = log (x - 3)
limit x → 3+ - ∞
3.000000001 log (3.000000001 -3) = -9
3.0001 log (3.0001 - 3) = - 4
3.1 log (3.1 - 3) = - 1
4 log (4 - 3) = 0
13 log (13 - 3) = 1
103 log (103 - 3) = 10
lim x → ∞ ∞
Now, with all that information you can graph the function: put the data on the coordinate system and join the points with a smooth curve.
Question
x+5/x+2 - x+1/x²+2x
Answer:
= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x (x+2)]
= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x² + 2x]
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x² + 2x
We factorise the second denominator to give us :
x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x(x + 2)
We find the L.C.M of both denominators which is x(x+2).
[x(x + 5)-(x + 1)] / (x (x + 2))
Expand the bracket
=[x² +5x - x -1] / [x (x + 2)]
=(x² - 4x - 1) / [x (x + 2)]
= (x² - 4x - 1)/ [x (x + 2)]
= (x² - 4x - 1) / [x² + 2x]
Answer:
9/10 > 78/100
Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 * 10/10 = 90/100
90/100 > 78/100
6 4/5 = 6.8
4 1/2 = 4.5
6.8-4.5= 2.3
