Simplifying h(x) gives
h(x) = (x² - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x² + 4x + 4) - 4x - 4 - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7x - 8) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 14 - 8) / (x + 2)
h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 22) / (x + 2)
h(x) = (x + 2) - 7 - 22/(x + 2)
h(x) = x - 5 - 22/(x + 2)
An oblique asymptote of h(x) is a linear function p(x) = ax + b such that
In the simplified form of h(x), taking the limit as x gets arbitrarily large, we obviously have -22/(x + 2) converging to 0, while x - 5 approaches either +∞ or -∞. If we let p(x) = x - 5, however, we do have h(x) - p(x) approaching 0. So the oblique asymptote is the line y = x - 5.
Answer:
Option A. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
First term (a) = –3
Common ratio (r) = 6
Sum of series (Sₙ) = –4665
Number of term (n) =?
The number of terms in the series can be obtained as follow:
Sₙ = a[rⁿ – 1] / r – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 6 – 1
–4665 = –3[6ⁿ – 1] / 5
Cross multiply
–4665 × 5 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
–23325 = –3[6ⁿ – 1]
Divide both side by –3
–23325 / –3 = 6ⁿ – 1
7775 = 6ⁿ – 1
Collect like terms
7775 + 1 = 6ⁿ
7776 = 6ⁿ
Express 7776 in index form with 6 as the base
6⁵ = 6ⁿ
n = 5
Thus, the number of terms in the geometric series is 5.
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
6*2= 12
So to get common denominators, you would need to divide 5/12 by 2 OF multiply 2/6 by 2
For the sake of ease just multiply 2/6 by 2, this will equal 4/12 NOT 5/12
Hope this helps! :)
