Answer:
VW = 43.2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can see that VZ = 88 - 55 = 33.
Then by the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we can write that:
Simplify:
Cross-multiply:
So:
<h3>Answer: -2</h3>

Work Shown:
-------------------
Explanation:
In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by 1/x. This divides every term by x. Doing this leaves us with various inner fractions that have the variable in the denominator. Those inner fractions approach 0 as x approaches infinity.
I'm using the rule that
where k is some positive real number constant.
Using that rule will simplify the expression greatly to leave us with -2/1 or simply -2 as the answer.
In a sense, the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are -2x and x respectively. They are the largest terms for each, so to speak. As x gets larger, the influence that -2x and x have will greatly diminish the influence of the other terms.
This effectively means,
I recommend making a table of values to see what's going on. Or you can graph the given function to see that it slowly approaches y = -2. Keep in mind that it won't actually reach y = -2 itself.
