Answer:126 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio from dolphins to pound of fish in one day is 1:7
So you have to multiply the ratio on both sides by 18
So you will get 18:126
Answer:
(-INFINITY , -2) (3 , INFINITY)
Function is positive when above the x axis
Function is below the x axis between -2 and 3
A = 9y+3xy
take 3y as a common factor:
a = 3y(3+x)
this is the simplest form of this expression.
1)
x^2 + 4x - 5
y = --------------------
3x^2 - 12
Vertcial asym => find the x-values for which the equation is not defined and check whether the limit goes to + or - infinite
=> 3x^2 - 12 = 0 => 3x^2 = 12
=> x^2 = 12 / 3 = 4
=> x = +/-2
Limit of y when x -> 2(+) = ( 2^2 + 4(2) - 5) / 0 = - 1 / 0(+) = ∞
Limit of y when x -> 2(-) = - 1 / (0(-) = - ∞
Limit of y when x -> - 2(+) = +∞
Limit of y when x -> - 2(-) = -
=> x = 2 and x = - 2 are a vertical asymptotes
Horizontal asymptote => find whether y tends to a constant value when x -> infinite of negative infinite
Limi of y when x -> - ∞ = 1/3
Lim of y when x -> +∞ = 1/3
=> Horizontal asymptote y = 1/3
x - intercept => y = 0
=>
x^2 + 4x - 5
0 = ------------------ => x ^2 + 4x - 5 = 0
3x^2 - 12
Factor x^2 + 4x - 5 => (x + 5) (x - 1) = 0 => x = - 5 and x = 1
=> x-intercepts x = - 5 and x = 1
Domain: all the real values except x = 2 and x = - 2
2) y = - 2 / (x - 4) - 1
using the same criteria you get:
Vertical asymptote: x = 4
Horizontal asymptote: y = - 1
Domain:all the real values except x = 4
Range: all the real values except y = - 1
3)
x/ (x + 2) + 7 / (x - 5) = 14 / (x^2 - 3x - 10)
factor x^2 - 3x - 10 => (x - 5)(x + 2)
Multiply both sides by (x - 5) (x + 2)
=> x(x - 5) + 7( x + 2) = 14
=> x^2 - 5x + 7x + 14 = 14
=> x^2 + 2x = 0
=> x(x + 2) = 0 => x = 0 and x = - 2 but the function is not defined for x = - 2 so it is not a solution => x = 0
Answer: x = 0
