1) function f(x)
x - 5
f(x) = ----------------
3x^2 - 17x - 28
2) factor the denominator:
3x^2 - 17x - 28 = (3x + 4)(x - 7)
x - 5
=> f(x) = -----------------------
(3x + 4) (x - 7)
3) Find the limits when x → - 4/3 and when x → 7
Lim of f(x) when x → - 4/3 = +/- ∞
=> vertical assymptote x = - 4/3
Lim of f(x) when x → 7 = +/- ∞
=> vertical assymptote x = 7
Answer: there are assympotes at x = 7 and x = - 4/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean μ = 70
sample size = 25
sample mean = 73
standard deviation = 7
level of significance = 0.10
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:

The z score for this statistics can be calculated by using the formula:




z = 2.143
At level of significance of 0.10
degree of freedom = n -1
degree of freedom = 25 - 1
degree of freedom = 24
The p - value from the z score at level of significance of 0.10 and degree of freedom of 24 is:
P - value = 1 - (Z < 2.143)
P - value = 1 - 0.9839
P - value = 0.0161
Decision Rule: since P value is lesser than the level of significance, we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: We conclude that energy drink consumption increases heart rate.
