Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Realize what (-5)^3 means

(-5)(-5)(-5)

25(-5)

-125

meanwhile

(-9)^2 is

(-9)(-9)

Basically a negative times a negative is always positive, but when a negative number is cubed (or raised to any odd exponent for that matter) the product will be negative.

Set A contains 35 elements and set B contains 22 elements. If there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B) then how many elements are in (A

Leona [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is shown below;

Given that

Set A contains 35 elements

And, set B contains 22 elements

Now if there are 40 elements in (A ∪ B)

So, the number of elements are in (A ∩ B) is

= 35 + 22 - 40

= 17

Identify the asymptotes and state the end behavior of the function f(x)=5x/x-25

AnnyKZ [126]

Using it's concepts, it is found that for the function $f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}$ :

The vertical asymptote of the function is x = 25.

The horizontal asymptote is y = 5. Hence the end behavior is that $y \rightarrow 5$ when $x \rightarrow \infty$ .

<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>

The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.

The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity. They also give the end behavior of a function.

In this problem, the function is:

$f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}$

For the vertical asymptote, it is given by:

x - 25 = 0 -> x = 25.

The horizontal asymptote is given by:

$y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x - 25} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x} = 5$

Denise used her credit card to buy a pair of new shoes for $120. At the end of the month, she could

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$120= the amount to pay for the shoe

$20 paid for the month

Balance to pay = $100

Then 3% interest rate on credit card = 3% of $100=$3

Therefore amount to pay = $3+$100=$103
