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

Which system of inequalities is represented by the graph?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The system of inequalities " x + 2 y ≤ 5 and 3 x + y ≤ 4 " is represented by the graph ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer let us find the equation of each line

Blue line:

∵ The line passes through points (5 , 0) and (0 , 2.5)

- Find the slope of the line

∵ m = Δy/Δx

∴ \frac{0-2.5}{5-0}=\frac{-2.5}{5}

∴ m = -0.5

- The form of the equation is y = m x  + b, where b is the

   y-intercept (value y at x = 0)

∵ y = 2.5 at x = 0

∴ b = 2.5

- Write the equation of the line

∴ y = - 0.5 x + 2.5

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ The equation of the blue line is 2 y = - x + 5

- The shading is under the line and the line is solid, that means

  2 y is less than or equal - x + 5

∴ The inequality of the blue line is 2 y ≤ - x + 5

Red line:

∵ The line passes through points (3 , -5) and (0 , 4)

- Find the slope of the line

∴ m=\frac{-5-4}{3-0}=\frac{-9}{3}

∴ m = -3

∵ y = 4 at x = 0

∴ b = 4

- Write the equation of the line

∴ y =  -3 x + 4

∴ The equation of the red line is y = -3 x + 4

- The shading is below the line and the line is solid, that means

  y is less than or equal -3 x + 4

∴ The inequality of the red line is y ≤ -3 x + 4

Let us find which answer is the same with this system of inequalities

∵ 2 y ≤ - x + 5

- Add x to both sides

∴ x + 2 y ≤ 5 ⇒ same as the first inequality of answer D

∵ y ≤ -3 x + 4

- Add 3 x to both sides

∴ 3 x + y ≤ 4 ⇒ same as the second inequality of answer D

The system of inequalities " x + 2 y ≤ 5 and 3 x + y ≤ 4" is represented by the graph

An ant can travel at a constant speed of 980 inches in every 5 minutes how far does the ant travel in 7 minutes
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1372

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 980 divided by 5 is 196 and 196 x 5 = 980

So you take 196 and multiply it by 5 and it's 1372

Hope this helps :)
