Which description compares the vertical asymptotes of function A and function B correctly?

Answer:

Option B:

Function A has a vertical asymptote at x = 1

Function B has a vertical asymptote at x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f(x) has a vertical asymptote if:

\lim_{x \to\\k^+}f(x) = \±\infty\\\\ \lim_{x \to\\k^-}f(x) = \±\infty

This means that if there is a value k for which f(x) has infinity or a -infinity then x = k is a vertical asymptote of f(x). Therefore, the closer x to k approaches, the closer the function becomes to infinity.

We can calculate the asymptote for function A.

\lim_{x \to \\1^+}(\frac{1}{x-1})\\\\ \lim_{x \to \\1^+}(\frac{1}{1^-1})\\\\ \lim_{x \to \\1^+}(\frac{1}{0}) = \infty\\\\and\\ \lim_{x \to \\1^-}(\frac{1}{x-1})\\\\\lim_{x \to \\1^-}(\frac{1}{0}) = -\infty

Then, function A has a vertical asymptote at x = 1.

The asymptote of function B can be easily observed in the graph. Note that the function b is not defined for x = -3 and when x is closest to -3, f(x) approaches infinity.

Therefore x = -3 is asintota of function B.

Therefore the correct answer is option B.

(a+7)2<br> please expand it
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

expand (a + 7) * 2:   2a + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(a + 7) * 2

= 2 ( a + 7)

apply the distributive law:     a(b + c) = ab + ac

a = 2, b = a, c = 7

= 2a + 2 * 7

multiply the numbers:   2 * 7 = 14

= 2a + 14
