Answer: The length of the rectangle is 37.5 inches and the width is 12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions of the rectangle is not given but we have clues given. The length is given as three times it’s width which means if the width is W, then the length would be given as 3W (three times the width). Also the perimeter is given as 100 inches and the formula for the perimeter is;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

We can now insert the known values as follows;

100 = 2(3W + W)

100 = 2(4W)

100 = 8W

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

12.5 = W

Having calculated the width as 12.5 inches, the length now becomes

L = 3W

L = 3 x 12.5

L = 37.5

Hence the length is 37.5 inches and the width is 12.5 inches

Find Horizontal and Vertical asymptotes for y=(x^2 -9)/(4x^2 +1)

Gnom [1K]

Answer: Horizontal asymptote is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and vertical asymptotes are $\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$y=\dfrac{x^2-9}{4x^2+1}$

We need to find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes.

Since vertical asymptotes will occur where the denominator becomes zero.

So, here denominator is $4x^2+1$

Now,

$4x^2+1=0\\\\4x^2=-1\\\\x^2=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\\\x=\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$

And the horizontal asympototes will occur when the coefficient of higher degree of numerator is divided by coefficient of higher degree of denominator.

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, horizontal asymptote is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ and vertical asymptotes are $\pm \dfrac{1}{2i}$
