Answer:

The larger van has 23 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Create a system of Equations:</u>

1. Define variables.

> let x=small van and y=larger van

2. create 2 equations based on the information given.

> y = 6 + x

> 2x + y = 57

3. Use any method to solve

Substitution: 2x + (6 + x) = 57. x=17

now plug x in to the original equation to solve for y (the larger van)

y = 6 + 17 and <u>y = 23</u>

Elimination: 2y = 12 + 2x

y = 57 - 2x

3y = 69 and <u>y = 23</u>

X is the seats in the small van.

y is the seats in the large van = (x + 6). Since the large has 6 more seats.

Since the 2 vans can transport 57 people.

Small van makes 2 trips = 2x.

Large van makes one trip = (x + 6).

2x + (x +6) = 57

2x + x + 6 = 57

3x + 6 = 57

3x = 57 -6

3x = 51

x = 51/3

x = 17.

The larger van has (x + 6) = (17 + 6) = 23.

The larger van has 23 seats.

Answer:

A) see attached for a graph. Range: (-∞, 7]

B) asymptotes: x = 1, y = -2, y = -1

C) (x → -∞, y → -2), (x → ∞, y → -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator is useful for graphing the function. We note that the part for x > 1 can be simplified:

$\dfrac{-x^2+x+2}{x^2-3x+2}=-\dfrac{(x-2)(x+1)}{(x-2)(x-1)}=-\dfrac{x+1}{x-1}\quad x\ne 2$

This has a vertical asymptote at x=1, and a hole at x=2.

The function for x ≤ 1 is an ordinary exponential function, shifted left 1 unit and down 2 units. Its maximum value of 3^-2 = 7 is found at x=1.

The graph is attached.

The range of the function is (-∞, 7].

As we mentioned in Part A, there is a vertical asymptote at x = 1. This is where the denominator (x-1) is zero.

The exponential function has a horizontal asymptote of y = -2; the rational function has a horizontal asymptote of y = (-x/x) = -1. The horizontal asymptote of the exponential would ordinarily be y=0, but this function has been translated down 2 units.

The end behavior is defined by the horizontal asymptotes:

for x → -∞, y → -2

for x → ∞, y → -1
