Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.
Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:
5-5 = 0
So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.
To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.
In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)
so the degrees would be equal.
Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.
This makes the first choice the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 31 by 40. Since you get .775, you make it a percent and it's 77.5% correct.
First, let's move combine like terms:
-5y + 8y = 6 + 2 -12.
3y = -4.
y = -4/3
