Answer:

A(2,3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

B(-3,2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

C(2,-3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

D(-3,-2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of a point to an axis

Given a point (x,y) its rectangular coordinates are defined as the distances from the point to each axis with respect to the origin (0,0).

For example, the point (5,4) has a distance of 5 from the y-axis and a distance of 4 from the x-axis.

Generally speaking, point (x,y) has a distance |x| from the y-axis and a distance |y| from the x-axis.

The absolute value bars are used because the distance is always positive.

Apply that to the points:

A(2,3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

B(-3,2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

C(2,-3) has a distance of 2 to the y-axis

D(-3,-2) has a distance of 3 to the y-axis

Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

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

What is the averge speed of a plane flying 2,184 miles from knoxville tn to los angeles ca in 7 hours

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

312 mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 2184 miles

Time taken = 7 hours

Average speed = Distance / time taken

Average speed = 2184 miles / 7 hours

Average speed = 312 miles per hour

Hence, the average speed Traveled by the plane traveling from Knoxville to Los Angeles is 312 miles per hour

What is the probability of selecting a red jack from a deck of cards?

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

There's 2 red jacks in a deck and 2 black queens in a deck so you have a total of 4 possible cards out of a 52 total in a deck so that would be 4/52 or 1/13 of the time. Statistically 7.6% of the time you will get a red jack or a black queen.
