Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C)-0.245 = 2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The slope = - 0.245

The size sample = n = 15

The standard error = 0.205

The confidence level = 95

The Significance level= α = (100- 95)% = 0.05

Now,

The freedom of degree = n-2 = 15 -2= 13

Thus,

the critical value = t* = 2.16

By applying Excel = [TINV (0.05, 13)]

The Margin of error is = t* (standard error)

=2.16 *0.205

= 0.4428

Angle 1 is congruent to angles 3, 5, and/or 7

Angle 2 is congruent to angles 4, 6, and/or 8

Angle 5 is congruent to angles 7, 3 and/or 1

Angle 6 is congruent to angles 8, 4, and/or 2

Any of these answers could work for the blanks.

Angles 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 5 and 7, and angles 6 and 8 are congruent because they are vertical angles. They have the same vertex. Not all of these are congruent to each other if this doesn’t make sense. It’s only 1 is congruent to 3, 2 congruent to 4, etc.

Then you have your corresponding angles. These are ones like angles 2 and 6, then 1 and 5. You can also have 8 and 4, or 7 and 3 as corresponding angles

Transversal angles are different. This would be like angles 3 and 4, or 1 and 2. They are not always congruent. The only time they will be congruent is if they are both 90°. Transversal angles are essentially supplementary angles on the transversal line (the line that intersects through the set of parallel lines)
