The asymptote cannot be x= because x can be any number. If you think about it, you can take a number to any exponent.
If x is a positive exponent, y is positive.
If x is a nevative exponent, y decreases, but is still positive. This is because a number to a negative exponent equals 1 over the number to the positive exponent. Thus, it is smaller, but still positive.
If x is 0, y is positive again because anything to the zero is positive 1.
There is no way y could be less than or equal to zero. So, there is an asymptote at y=0.
Also, set the equation equal to 0 and solve. You should end up with 4^x=0. Since no exponenent can make a number zero, this isn't possible, so y cannot equal zero.
Here is the graph for a visual:

A circular plate has circumference 21.4 inches. What is the area of this plate? Use 3.14 for pi.

Brut [27]

Answer:

The area of this plate is $36.31\ \text{inches}^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Circumference of a circular plate, C = 21.4 inches

The circumference of a circular shape is given by :

$C=2\pi r$

r is radius of circular shape

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{21.4}{2\times 3.14}\\\\r=3.4\ \text{inches}$

Area of this plate is given by :

$A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (3.4)^2\\\\A=36.31\ \text{inches}^2$

So, the area of this plate is $36.31\ \text{inches}^2$ .

Graph this function:<br> y=5x<br> Click to select points on the graph.

Answer:

You did not include your graph, therefore I will explain in the step-by-step everything you should need to know.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard slope formula is y=mx + b, where m = slope (rise/run) and b = the y intercept.

Using this knowledge, we know that this line has a slope of 5, or 5/1, which means that you will go up 5 and 1 to the right. Since there is no + b part, that means b = 0, so the line begins at 0,0. So, using this information, possible points include 0,0, 5,1, 10,2, 15,3, etc.
