In a rational function, is the horizontal shift represented by the vertical asymptote?

<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.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a = 9.6 b = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

10 percent of 8 is .8

8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8

8.8 + .8 = 9.6

She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6

When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6

For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2

8+3.2 = 11.2

She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.

Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.

Jake can cut and split a cord of firewood in 9 fewer hours than Dwight can. When they work together, it takes them 6 hours. How
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

18 hours for Dwight, 9 hours for Jake

Step-by-step explanation:

If J is the time it takes for Jake working alone, and D is the time it takes for Dwight working alone, then:

J = D − 9

Working together, Jake's speed plus Dwight's speed equals 1 cord per 6 hours.

1 / J + 1 / D = 1 / 6

Solve the system of equations by substituting for J:

1 / (D − 9) + 1 / D = 1 / 6

Multiply both sides by D − 9.

1 + (D − 9) / D = (D − 9) / 6

Multiply both sides by D:

D + D − 9 = D (D − 9) / 6

Simplify and solve:

2D − 9 = (D² − 9D) / 6

12D − 54 = D² − 9D

0 = D² − 21D + 54

0 = (D − 3) (D − 18)

D = 3 or 18

Since J = D − 9, D must be greater than 9.  So D = 18 and J = 9.

That means it takes Dwight 18 hours working alone, and it takes Jake 9 hours working alone.
