Hello!

The two types of asymptotes you can find from a rational function are vertical and horizontal asymptotes.

Vertical asymptotes are determined by setting the denominator of a rational function to zero and then by solving for x.

Horizontal asymptotes are determined by:

1. If the degree of the numerator < degree of denominator, then the line, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote.

2. If the degree of the numerator = degree of denominator, then y = leading coefficient of numerator / leading coefficient of denominator is the horizontal asymptote.

3. If degree of numerator > degree of denominator, then there is an oblique asymptote, but no horizontal asymptote.

Hopefully this makes sense! (I had to bring out my math notes, my handwriting is actually disgusting.)

Divide the following polynomials and then complete the quotient. Write your answer in order of decreasing powers of x.

NikAS [45]

The easiest way to do this is to put each term in the numerator over the denominator and do the division/reducing for each one. Like this: $\frac{10 x^{6} }{5 x^{2} } + \frac{20 x^{4} }{5 x^{2} } - \frac{15 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} }$ . The first term reduces to $2 x^{4}$ , the second to $4 x^{2}$ , and the third to 3. Putting them all together with the signs in between we have $2 x^{4} +4 x^{2} -3$

Find the amplitude of this function.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude of a function is the amount by which the graph of the function travels above and below its midline.

The distance from the highest most point to the lowest point vertically is 5, meaning that the midpoint is 2.5 units from either end.
