and $\theta$ lies in $2^{\text{th}}$ quadrant.
where, $x-$ coordinate is negative, and $y-$ coordinate is positive
so it can't a.
now, cosine means, side adjacent over the hypotenuse, in Cartesian plane, that will be $x-$ coordinate over the distance from origin.
Assume the triangle , with base $2$ units and hypotenuse $\sqrt{29}$ and it's in second quadrant. (so )
now, the leftmost point on $x-$ axis is , obviously $(-2,0)$
and by Pythagoras theorem, we can find the perpendicular side, that will be $y^2=(\sqrt{29})^2-(2)^2\implies y=5$
so the coordinates of the upper vertex is $(-2,5)$, each point lying on this "ray" should have equal ratio of respective coordinates. i.e. $\frac25=\left|\frac xy\right| $
and it should lie on second quadrant, so $x<0 \, y>0$
Option d satisfies this.
I'm assuming the function is f(x) = (2x+8)/(x^2+5x+6). If so, make sure to use parenthesis to indicate that you're dividing all of "2x+8" over all of "x^2+5x+6" as one big fraction. Otherwise, things are ambiguous and it leads to confusion.
Side Note: x^2 means "x squared"
Factor the numerator: 2x+8 = 2(x+4)
Factor the denominator: x^2+5x+6 = (x+2)(x+3)
There are no common factors between the numerator and denominator. So there is nothing to cancel out.
Recall that you cannot divide by zero. Something like 1/0 is undefined.
We need to find the x values that cause the denominator to be zero.
Set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x
x^2+5x+6 = 0
(x+2)(x+3) = 0
x+2 = 0 or x+3 = 0
x = -2 or x = -3
The x values x = -2 or x = -3 will lead to the denominator being zero. This means that the vertical asymptotes are x = -2 or x = -3 as shown by the blue dashed vertical lines in the attached image.
