We can simplify across between the 5 and the 50 and also between the 42 and the 3.
The larger number is (-7+14)/2 = 3.5.
The smaller number is (-7-14)/2 = -10.5.
_____
The two equations a+b=-7, a-b=14 can be solved to get these results. It is genrally convenient to solve them by adding one to the other, or subtracting one from the other.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 
The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.
x + 3 = 0 → x = - 3 is the vertical asymptote
