Algebra help - asymptotes

Mathematics
1 answer:
motikmotik2 years ago
8 0

Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.

Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:

5-5 = 0


So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.


To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.


In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)

so the degrees would be equal.

Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.


This makes the first choice the correct answer.

Anyone know 14!!!!! Please help me!!!!!:(

-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;

-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.

I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function.  I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ? 
Somebody give me the answer !".

Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:

0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees

You know three points on the line !

(0, 65) ,  (1, 62) ,  and  (2, 59) .

For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept !    ' b ' = 65 .

You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)

So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .

is           <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .

The point p(-3,2) is translated up 3 and right 4. what are the coordinates of p
monitta

Answer:

P'(1, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Up 3 is vertical movement, so it changes the y-value: 2 + 3 = 5

Right 4 is horizontal movement, so it changes the x-value: -3 + 4 = 1
