Answer:

asymptotes: x = ±6

zero: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptotes of the function will be at the values of x where the denominator is zero. The denominator is x^2 -36, so has zeros for values of x that satisfy ...

x^2 -36 = 0

x^2 = 36

x = ±√36 = ±6

The vertical asymptotes of the function are x = -6 and x = +6.

The zero of the function is at the value of x that makes the numerator zero. This will be the value of x that satisfies ...

6x = 0

x = 0 . . . . . divide by 6

The zero of the function is x=0.

As a check on this work, we have had a graphing calculator graph the function and identify the zero.

1. Construct a circle of arbitrary radius (r₁) with center at point P (blue circle)
2. Mark the points of intersection of the circle with the line AB (points E and D)
3. Construct two circles of identical radii (r₂) with centers at points E and D (green and red circles). Notice: r₂ > r₁
4. Draw a segment through the intersection points of the green and red circles.

What is the equation of the inverse function A(n)=3n-20

Allisa [31]

Answer:

$A^{-1}(n)=\frac{1}{3}n+\frac{20}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's change those variables to x and y, just for the sake of convenience. In order to find the inverse of a function algebraically, switch the x and y coordinates, then solve for the new y. Letting y = A(n) and x = n (we will switch them back when we're done):

y = 3x - 20. This is linear; a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -20. When we switch the x and the y, we get:

x = 3y - 20. Now we solve for the new y. Begin by adding 20 to both sides:

x + 20 = 3y. Now divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{x+20}{3}=y$ , or to write it in slope-intercept form, like the function you started with:

$y=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{20}{3}$

This is also a line, with a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of +20/3

Now, replacing:

$A^{-1}(n)=\frac{1}{3}n+\frac{20}{3}$

That is how to write the inverse using function notation. The little -1 as an exponent tells us that this is the inverse of the function A(n).

Jaymile wants to construct congruent angles with a compass and straightedge, while Annie wants to construct congruent segments w

andre [41]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Both will use the straight edge to make segments and use the compass to take measurements.

They will draw a line with a straight edge and will find a starting point, then with a compass:

Annie will take the measurement of the segment and, from the starting point of the line, will put in the other point to obtain the congruent segment.

But in Jaymie's case, she will need to do a little more work with a compass because to build congruent angles, she will need to make a semi-circle in the original angle and transfer this measurement to the new line to construct the angle.

To finance a bridge costing $94,500, the state contributed twice as much as the county and the county contributed twice as much

bearhunter [10]

The city contributed $13,500; the county contributed $27,000; and the state contributed $54,000.

Let x be the amount the city contributes. Since the county contributes twice as much as the city, the county's amount is 2x. Since the state contributes twice as much as the county, the state's amount is 2(2x) = 4x.

They total 94,500:
x+2x+4x = 94500
7x = 94500

Divide both sides by 7:
x = 13500
2x = 27000
4x = 54000
