Question

PLEASE HELP!!! WILL MARK AS BRAINLISTS!!!

Answer 1

The limit is x---->4-

The negative show that x approaches from the left

Now

As x approaches 4 from the left ... Means This number should be less than 4 (<4) but really close to 4.

Let's pick a Number

Say 3.99

Substitute this... You have

3.99/3.99-4

3.99/-0.01

If we choose x to be 3.999

we will have

3.999/-0.001

Notice the pattern... As x approaches 4 from the left... This limit will approach NEGATIVE INFINITY

Why?

As you approach 4 from the left... 3.9,3.99,3.999... You notice that the denominator becomes negative and EXTREMELY SMALL... and when you divide by an extremely small Number..... You'll get a relatively HUGE VALUE(You can try this... Use a calc... Divide any number of choice by a very small number... say.. 0.0000001.... You'll get a huge result

In our case... The denominator is negative... So it Will Approach a very Huge Negative Number

Hence

Answer.. X WILL APPROACH NEGATIVE INFINITY.

Vertical asymptotes are the zeroes of the denominator of a function

The denom. is x-4

Equate to zero to get the asymptote

x-4=0

x=4

Hence... There will be a vertical asymptote at x=4.

Have a great day!
