Determine the vertical asymptote for the rational function f(x) = x - 4 over 2x - 3
1 answer:
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) =
The denominator cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be and if the numerator is non zero for this value then it is a vertical asymptote.
2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x =
Thus x = is the vertical asymptote

<u>ANSWER: </u>
170 liters of 10% hydrochloric acid must be mixed with 1700 liters of 65% hydrochloric acid solution to obtain 1870 liters of 60% solution.
<u>SOLUTION: </u>
First, set up a table. Fill in the unknowns with variables x and y. The table is attached below
From this, we can easily set up the two equations.
Sum of values of two acids = Value of mixture
0.1x + 0.65y = 1122
For convenience, we'll multiply the entire equation by 100,
10x + 65y = 112200 ------ (1)
Now, Sum of amounts of each acid = Amount of mixture
x + y = 1870 ---------(2)
multiply (2) with 10 for easy calculation and derive the equation into one variable.
10x + 10y = 18700
Subtracting equation (2) from (1),
( + ) 10x + 65y = 112200
( − ) 10x + 10y = 18700
we get the solution as,
0 + 55y = 93500
Thus, 55y = 93500
y = 1700
Substituting y = 1700 in (2),
x + 1700 = 1870
x = 1870 - 1700
x = 170
So, we have x = 170 and y = 1700
We can conclude that 170 liters of 10% hydrochloric acid must be mixed with 1700 liters of 65% hydrochloric acid solution to obtain 1870 liters of 60% solution.
Answer:
39 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
- by seeing the diagram in the attachment, we can see that the angles UWV and VWX are on straight line or, their sum makes 180 degrees.
- we also know that sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
by using the first statement,
UWV + VWX = 180
UWV + 6x-3 = 180
UWV = 180+3-6x
= 183-6x
by using second statement,
UWV+WVU+VUW=180
substituting the values,
183-6x+2x+5+x+13=180
201-3x=180
substracting 180 from both sides,
21=3x
dividing both the sides by 3,
7=x
the angle VWX=6x-3
substituting 7=x,
VWX=6(7)-3= 39.
