I don't think they are equivalent. try it yourself
Ok
first of all, for q(x)/p(x)
if the degree of q(x) is less than the degree of p(x),then the horizontal assemtote is 0
then simplify
any factors you factored out is now a hole, remember them
to find the vertical assemtotes of a function, set the SIMPLIFIED denomenator equal to 0 and solve
so
y=(x-5)/(x^2-1)
q(x)<p(x)
horizontal assemtote is y=0
no factors to simplify so no holes
set denomenator to 0 to find vertical assemtote
x^2-1=0
(x-1)(x+1)=0
x-1=0
x=1
x+1=0
x=-1
the horizontal assemtotes are x=1 and -1
Answer:
8 hours worked, 64 dollars
56 dollars, 7 hours worked
themepark:
5 hours worked, 45 dollars
6 hours worked, 54 dollars
8 hours worked, 72 dollars
working at the themepark earns 5 extra dollars when they work for 5 hours.
