Factor the demoniator:-
x^2 -2x - 24 = (x - 6)(x + 4)
the asymptotes occurs when denominator = 0
so here they are the vertical lines x = 6 and x = -4
I believe it is a but i will double check and post ok
<span>Faster maid DATA:
time = x hr/job ; rate = 1/x job/jhr
Slower maid DATA:
time = 3x hr/job ; rate = 1/3x job/hr
Together DATA:
time = 3 hr/job ; rate = 1/3 job/hr
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/x + 1/3x = 1/3
Multiply thru by 3x to get:
3 + 1 = x
x = 4 hrs (time for the faster maid to do the job)</span>
They are equivalent
30:12 => 5:2
40:16 => 5:2
hope this helsp
