b) It is a cubic function of 4 terms.
- In this case p(3) = t + 2 is synonymous for p = 3 + 2. Remember p is synonymous for y. So in this equation it is p = 5.

Hope this helps!
Answer:
-x-30
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>first you need to </em><em>distribute</em><em>:</em>
<em>3(x)+3(-6) -4(x)+ (-4)(3)</em>
<em>Then you </em><em>multiply:</em>
<em>3x+(-18)-4x+(-7)</em>
<em>then you </em><em>combine like terms:</em>
<em>3x-4x= -1x </em>
<em>-18+(-7)= -25</em>
<em>simplified:</em>
<u><em>-1x-30</em></u>
Answers:
Vertical asymptote: x = 0
Horizontal asymptote: None
Slant asymptote: (1/3)x - 4
<u>Explanation:</u>
d(x) = 
= 
Discontinuities: (terms that cancel out from numerator and denominator):
Nothing cancels so there are NO discontinuities.
Vertical asymptote (denominator cannot equal zero):
3x ≠ 0
<u>÷3</u> <u>÷3 </u>
x ≠ 0
So asymptote is to be drawn at x = 0
Horizontal asymptote (evaluate degree of numerator and denominator):
degree of numerator (2) > degree of denominator (1)
so there is NO horizontal asymptote but slant (oblique) must be calculated.
Slant (Oblique) Asymptote (divide numerator by denominator):
- <u>(1/3)x - 4 </u>
- 3x) x² - 12x + 20
- <u>x² </u>
- -12x
- <u>-12x </u>
- 20 (stop! because there is no "x")
So, slant asymptote is to be drawn at (1/3)x - 4
