Answer:

the vertical asymptotes of f(x) are (π/2, -π/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

since tan(x)= sin (x) / cos(x), we can rewrite the function as

f(x) = 4*x*sin (x) / cos(x) , for -π/2>x>π/2

since cos(π/2)= 0 , cos(-π/2)=0 and the cosine function is continuous (if we get closer to π/2 and -π/2 we will get closer to 0) , when cos(x) goes smaller, f(x) goes bigger. in the limit , when cos(x) goes to 0 , f(x) will go to infinity , therefore x=π/2 and x=-π/2 are asymptotes of f(x)

Note:

strictly speaking we say that f(x) has vertical asymptotes in  x=π/2 and x=-π/2 because

when x→ π/2, lim f(x)=∞

when x→ -π/2, lim f(x)=∞

where lim is called limit of the function

Could some one please help me with this
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, lets look at some things that we know based on this image:

We have a equilateral triangle(The triangle on the left has 3 tick marked on the sides, so they are equal. It also has 3 of the same angle, so it must be equilateral) and a isosceles triangle (There are two tick marks showing that two of the sides are equal length), the measure of each of the equilateral triangle's angles must be 60° each, the measure of these two triangles together must be 360°, and angle x and the unmarked angle must be the same size as this triangle is isosceles.

To solve this, we can set up an equation to solve for x. To do this, we can add up all of the known angles and set it equal to 360.

(100+60)+60+(60+x)+x=360\\\\160+60+60+2x=360\\\\280+2x=360\\\\2x=80\\\\x=40

The graph of the distance a car travels at a constant speed passes through the points (0,0) and 2,136). The x scale is hours and
Zepler [3.9K]

We are given that

y-scale is a distance in miles

x-scale is a time in hours

and we are given

The graph of the distance a car travels at a constant speed passes through the points (0,0) and (2,136)

so, points would be

(0,0)

x1=0 , y2=0

(2,136)

x2=2 , y2=136

so, slope would be speed

because speed = distance / time

we can use slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug values

m=\frac{136-0}{2-0}

m=68 miles per hour

so, option-B..........Answer
