One number is eight more than twice another. If their difference is 25, what is the larger number?

1 answer:

7 0

You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25

Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17

Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42

Answer:

Hey there!

6+3x=4x-3

6=x-3

x=9

OQ=4x-3

OQ=4(9)-3

Which function has no horizontal asymptote? F (x) = StartFraction 2 x minus 1 Over 3 x squared EndFraction f (x) = StartFraction

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{2x^2}{3x-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function $f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{3x}$ has a horizontal asymptote which is $y=\frac{2}{3}$

The function $f(x)=\frac{x-1}{3x}$ has a horizontal asymptote which is $y=\frac{1}{3}$

The function $f(x)=\frac{2x^2}{3x-1}$ has no horizontal asymptote because the numerator has a degree which is higher than the degree of the denominator,

The function $f(x)=\frac{3x^2}{x^2-1}$ has a horizontal asymptote which is $y=3$
