Can you find the y variable? ​

Mathematics

ELEN [110]3 years ago

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AD}{DC}=\dfrac{DC}{DB}

We have:

AD=12,\ DC=18,\ DB=y

Substitute:

\dfrac{12}{18}=\dfrac{18}{y}             <em>cross multiply</em>

12y=(18)(18)

12y=324            <em>divide both sides by 12</em>

y=27

Answer: y \in R; y \neq 0
Explanation: For this, it is often best to find the horizontal asymptote, and then take limits as x approaches the vertical asymptote and the end behaviours.

Well, we know there will be a horizontal asymptote at y = 0, because as x approaches infinite and negative infinite, the graph will shrink down closer and closer to 0, but never touch it. We call this a horizontal asymptote.
So we know that there is a restriction on the y-axis.

Now, since we know the end behaviours, let's find the asymptotic behaviours.

As x  approaches the asymptote of 7⁻, then y would be diverging out to negative infinite.
As x approaches the asymptote at 7⁺, then y would be diverging out to negative infinite.

So, our range would be: y \in R; y \neq 0
