How to find vertical asymptotes and horizontal asymptotes of a rational function?

Mathematics

A vertical asymptote occurs when the graph of a function approaches infinity as the independent variable approaches one or more specific rational values. This happens when the denominator of a fraction becomes zero. However, the fraction has to be in its simplest form (no common monomial factor between denominator and numerator).
A horizontal asymptote usually occurs for large positive or negative values of the independent variable where the function is a fraction and the polynomials forming the numerator and denominator have the same degree.
Example: y=(x+7)/(x-1) has a vertical asymptote at x=1 and a horizontal asymptote at y=1.
Example: y=(3x²+5x+9)/(x²-1) has a vertical asymptote at x=1 and at x=-1, and a horizontal asymptote at y=3.

Find the value of x in the given<br> right triangle.<br> 7<br> X<br> 10<br> x = [ ? ]
Ugo [173]

The value of x in the given right triangle is approximately 7.14

<h3>How to find unknown side in a right triangle?</h3>

  • Hypotenuse = 10
  • opposite = x
  • Adjacent = 7

Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent ²

10² = x² + 7²

100 = x² + 49

100 - 49 = x²

51 = x²

x = √51

x = 7.14142842854284

Approximately,

x = 7.14

Gala2k [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael's Journey Time = 4 hours and 30 mins

=

4.5hours

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Given Distance = 108km

Time = 4.5 hours

Speed =

\frac{distance}{time}  \\  =  \frac{108}{4.5}  \\  = 24 \frac{km}{h}
