The limit is x---->4-
The negative show that x approaches from the left
Now
As x approaches 4 from the left ... Means This number should be less than 4 (<4) but really close to 4.
Let's pick a Number
Say 3.99
Substitute this... You have
3.99/3.99-4
3.99/-0.01
If we choose x to be 3.999
we will have
3.999/-0.001
Notice the pattern... As x approaches 4 from the left... This limit will approach NEGATIVE INFINITY
Why?
As you approach 4 from the left... 3.9,3.99,3.999... You notice that the denominator becomes negative and EXTREMELY SMALL... and when you divide by an extremely small Number..... You'll get a relatively HUGE VALUE(You can try this... Use a calc... Divide any number of choice by a very small number... say.. 0.0000001.... You'll get a huge result
In our case... The denominator is negative... So it Will Approach a very Huge Negative Number
Hence
Answer.. X WILL APPROACH NEGATIVE INFINITY.
Vertical asymptotes are the zeroes of the denominator of a function
The denom. is x-4
Equate to zero to get the asymptote
x-4=0
x=4
Hence... There will be a vertical asymptote at x=4.
Have a great day!
<u>Define x:</u>
Let the first number be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 1
3rd number = x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 1)
3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)
Answer: 3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)
