The answer is 2.6 m/s
The speed (v) is distance (d) through time (t).
v = d/t
We know:
d = 390 m
t = 150 s
v = d/t
v = 390 m / 150s
v = = 2.6 m/s
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.
I think the answer is option 3.
To get the distance DC we proceed as follows:
AB-CD
=11-3
=8
BC=15
hence using Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
c=DC
a=BC
b=8
thus
c²=15²+8²
c²=225+64
c²=289
thus
c=√289
c=17 units
Answer: B. 17 units
