Find the vertical and horizontal asymptote if they exist

Hello!

Vertical asymptotes are determined by setting the denominator of a rational function to zero and then by solving for x.

Horizontal asymptotes are determined by:

1. If the degree of the numerator < degree of denominator, then the line, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If the degree of the numerator = degree of denominator, then y = leading coefficient of numerator / leading coefficient of denominator is the horizontal asymptote.

3. If degree of numerator > degree of denominator, then there is an oblique asymptote, but no horizontal asymptote.

To find the vertical asymptote:

2x² - 10 = 0

2(x² - 5) = 0

(x - √5)(x + √5) = 0

x = √5 and x = -√5

Graphing the equation, we realize that x = -√5 is not a vertical asymptote, so therefore, the only vertical asymptote is x = √5.

To find the horizontal asymptote:

If the degree of the numerator < degree of denominator, then the line, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote.

Therefore, the horizontal asymptote of this function is y = 0.

Short answer: Vertical asymptote: x = √5 and horizontal asymptote: y = 0

Answer:

\overset{\frown}{WX}= 66^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inscribed Angle Theorem</u>

The measure of an <u>inscribed angle</u> is half the measure of the <u>intercepted arc</u>.

First, use the Inscribed Angle Theorem to calculate the measure of arc WY.

  \displaystyle \angle WXY=\dfrac{1}{2} \overset{\frown}{WY}

\implies 57^{\circ}=\dfrac{1}{2} \overset{\frown}{WY}

\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}= 2 \cdot 57^{\circ}

\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}= 114^{\circ}

Assuming XY is the diameter of the circle:

\implies \overset{\frown}{WY}+ \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^{\circ}

\implies 114^{\circ} + \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^{\circ}

\implies \overset{\frown}{WX}= 180^{\circ} - 114^{\circ}

\implies \overset{\frown}{WX}= 66^{\circ}
