<span><u>3(x - 8) - 5 = 9(x + 2) + 1</u></span>

First, you have to get rid of the parentheses:

3(x - 8) is the same as 3x - 24, so the left side is 3x - 29 .

9(x + 2) is the same as 9x + 18, so the right side is 9x + 19 .

Now, the equation is:    3x - 29 = 9x + 19

Subtract 19 from each side:    3x - 48 = 9x

Subtract 3x from each side:        - 48 = 6x

Divide each side by 6 :               <u> - 8 = x </u>

(I guess the answer is <em>not</em> 7.166 after all.)

What are the equations of the asymptotes of the rational function? Please explain. f(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfra
tangare [24]

Answer:

vertical asymptote at x = 7

horizontal asymptote at y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of f(x) 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.


solve:  

x − 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7  is the asymptote

Horizontal asymptotes occur as

lim ,f(x)→ c(a constant)

x → ± ∞

divide terms on numerator/denominator by x

f ( x ) = 5/ x +6= 5 /x + 6

x/ x − 7 /x      1 − 7/ x

as   x ± ∞ , f ( x ) → 0 +6

                1 − 0

⇒ y = 6  is the asymptote

graph{((5)/(x-7))+6 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}

P^2 - 4p - 32 / p + 4, simplify the rational expression. state any restrictions
dusya [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: p - 8 ∧ restriction p ≠ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

(p² - 4 p - 32) / ( p + 4)

The existence of this rational algebraic expression is possible only if it is:

p + 4 ≠ 0  => Restriction is p ≠ -4

(p² - 4 p - 32) / ( p + 4) = (p² - 8 p + 4 p - 32) / (p + 4) =

= (p (p -8) + 4 (p -8)) / (p + 4)= (p - 8) (p + 4) / ( p +4) = p - 8

God with you!!!
