Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
on squaring both sides
either x-2=0 or x+8=0
either x=2 or x=-8
Putting x=2 in original equation, we get
7=7 hence, it is not an extraneous solution
Putting x=-8 in original equation
i.e. 3=-3
Hence, x=-8 is an extraneous solution (since it doesn't satisfy the original equation)
Answer:
Horizontal Asymptote: y=2
Vertical Asymptote: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
One way: Look at graph
Look at for a horizontal or vertical line that both lines don't touch.
Second Way:
When you look for vertical asymptotes, you set the denominator equal to zero and solve.
For example, the second question has a denominator of x-3.
x-3=0
x=3 (This is the vertical asymptote)
When you look for horizontal asymptote, you do long division.
For example, the first question
The answer will be 2. 2 is the quotient. You only want quotient not remainder.
y=2.
