Step 1: Put the numbers in numerical order from smallest to largest. Step 2: If there is an odd number of numbers, locate the middle number so that there is an equal number of values to the left and to the right.
Answers:
Vertical asymptote: x = 0
Horizontal asymptote: None
Slant asymptote: (1/3)x - 4
<u>Explanation:</u>
d(x) = 
= 
Discontinuities: (terms that cancel out from numerator and denominator):
Nothing cancels so there are NO discontinuities.
Vertical asymptote (denominator cannot equal zero):
3x ≠ 0
<u>÷3</u> <u>÷3 </u>
x ≠ 0
So asymptote is to be drawn at x = 0
Horizontal asymptote (evaluate degree of numerator and denominator):
degree of numerator (2) > degree of denominator (1)
so there is NO horizontal asymptote but slant (oblique) must be calculated.
Slant (Oblique) Asymptote (divide numerator by denominator):
- <u>(1/3)x - 4 </u>
- 3x) x² - 12x + 20
- <u>x² </u>
- -12x
- <u>-12x </u>
- 20 (stop! because there is no "x")
So, slant asymptote is to be drawn at (1/3)x - 4
1: -17 + 15 = -2 P = -17
2: 8 x -8 = -64 y = -8
3: -2 x 6 = -12
4: 8 - (-4) = 12

Answer:
Eric
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the distance of each player to the hole using the distance formula.
Given points 
Distance
<u>Eric</u>
The hole is at (3,2)
Eric's golf ball is at point (-6,6)
Distance=

<u>Cam</u>
The hole is at (3,2)
Cam's golf ball is at point (8,-6)
Distance=

<u>Brooke</u>
The hole is at (3,2)
Brooke's golf ball is at point (10,8)

Since Eric's ball is the farthest from the hole, Eric should shoot next.
