<h3>Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>

A bit of further explanation:

The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.

Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h

For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

Ivahew [28]

Total money Tammy has = $70

Money she is left with now = $19.54

Therefore, the money she used on coffee =

70 - 19.54 = $50.46

Now,

1 pound coffee costs $8.41

Pounds of coffee she bought = 50.46 ÷ 8.41

= 6 pounds

ddd [48]

40/3 days, (13.33 days)

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation, 15/20 = 10/x, and then use cross mutiply to solve it.

10 * 20 = 15x, x = 200/15 = 40/3

Why?

b/c if each pig eats the same amount of food, then the ratio between the number of pigs and days should remain constant.

Step 2. Divide the first digit/number   6 x 30 = 180            210 - 180 = 30

Step 3. rewrite the equation that is left,    30/6        6 x 5 = 30        30 - 30 = 0

Step 4. Only if need be for another equation, repeat step 1 and 2 until you have your answer

The Answer to the equation 210/6 is 35

Try 426/6 by yourself, please don't use a calculator.
