explain why the function f(x)= 5x-15/x-3 is not asymptotic to the line x=3. sketch the graph of this function.

1 answer:

3 0

X=3 is a vertical line . The question is "Is this line a vertical asymptotefor the function f(x)?". Vertical asymptote is vertical line near which the function grows without bound.
The function f(x)=5x-15/x-3 is not asymptotic to the line x=3, because for x=3 f(x)=5*3-15/3-3=0/0=0 . So, there is a value for x=3 and the function f(x) does not grow near x=3 without bound.

Answer:

f(x)=19x - 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

I am a high schooler as well and was working on this problem as well. I can't say I'm right or wrong because I didn't have a grade on it yet. I believe the answer is f(x)=19x - 7x. The Lines don't have a given value, so I chose the values 12 for Line A and 7 for Line B. I believe the answer is this because Line A would produce 12 bags each day and 3 of them would not be useable, leaving you with 9. Line B would produce 7 and 4 of them would be unusable, leaving you with 3. Line A produces 9 per day while Line B produces 3, and that would check off the part that says, "Line A produces 3 times as many bags as Line B each day." Throughout the problem, it talks about how many bags can each line produces each day, and the sentence talks about that specifically as well. So, the function must be about the amount of bags produced per day. x would represent the number of days that the Lines have been working. 19 is the total amount of bags that was produced in a day. 7 represents the total amount of bags that are unusable. Though I may be wrong, I hope this might help you come to a conculsion of your own.
