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 top option is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both segments have a <em>rate</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>] of ⅔. It just that their ratios have unique qualities:

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}

Greatest Common Factor: 2

___ ___

<em>BC</em><em> </em>is at a 4⁄6 slope, and <em>AB</em><em> </em>is at a ⅔ slope. Although their quantities are unique, they have the exact same value.

gregori [183]

Answer:

d = 2.75 or 11/4

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 5 + 4(2d - 3)

15 = 5 + 8d - 12

15 = 8d - 7

<u>+7        + 7</u>

22 = 8d

22/8 = d

2.75 = d

Check:

15 = 5 + 4(2(2.75) - 3)
