I need it ASAP! Melanie had bags of sand for a sandbox. The sandbox needs bags of sand to fill it.

Melanie had 2 1/2 bags of sand for a sandbox. The sandbox needs 3 1/4 bags of sand to fill it. Melanie said she still needs 3/4 of a bag to fill it. Is that answer reasonable?

3.25 or 3 and 1/4 - 2.25 or 2 and 1/2= .75 or 3/4 so the answer is C.

*Asymptotes* g(x) =2x+1/x-3 Give the domain and x and y intercepts

Nataly [62]

Answer: Assuming the function is $g(x)=\frac{2x+1}{x-3}$ :

The x-intercept is $(\frac{-1}{2},0)$ .

The y-intercept is $(0,\frac{-1}{3})$ .

The horizontal asymptote is $y=2$ .

The vertical asymptote is $x=3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume the function is: $g(x)=\frac{2x+1}{x-3}$ and not $g(x)=2x+\frac{1}{x}-3$ .

So we are looking at $g(x)=\frac{2x+1}{x-3}$ .

The x-intercept is when y is 0 (when g(x) is 0).

Replace g(x) with 0.

$0=\frac{2x+1}{x-3}$

A fraction is only 0 when it's numerator is 0. You are really just solving:

$0=2x+1$

Subtract 1 on both sides:

$-1=2x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{-1}{2}=x$

The x-intercept is $(\frac{-1}{2},0)$ .

The y-intercept is when x is 0.

Replace x with 0.

$g(0)=\frac{2(0)+1}{0-3}$

$y=\frac{2(0)+1}{0-3}$

$y=\frac{0+1}{-3}$

$y=\frac{1}{-3}$

$y=-\frac{1}{3}$ .

The y-intercept is $(0,\frac{-1}{3})$ .

The vertical asymptote is when the denominator is 0 without making the top 0 also.

So the deliminator is 0 when x-3=0.

Solve x-3=0.

Add 3 on both sides:

x=3

Plugging 3 into the top gives 2(3)+1=6+1=7.

So we have a vertical asymptote at x=3.

Now let's look at the horizontal asymptote.

I could tell you if the degrees match that the horizontal asymptote is just the leading coefficient of the top over the leading coefficient of the bottom which means are horizontal asymptote is $y=\frac{2}{1}$ . After simplifying you could just say the horizontal asymptote is $y=2$ .
