Remember that to find the vertical asymptotes of rational functions, we just need to set the denominator equal to zero and solve for the variable, in this case

, so lets do it:


As you can see, our rational functions has
2 vertical asymptotes: 
and
Answer:
x=-72
Step-by-step explanation:
-x/6-1=-13
add 1 to both sides
-x/6=-12
multiply 6*-12
-72
x=-72 because -72/6=-12
Answer:
160 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let call dj distance run by Jess and dw distance run by Wes
By Jess courtesy Wes will be 60 meters ahead of Jess
Let call t the time in which both runners are at the same point, which in fact is when both distances are equal
dj = 8 m/sec * t and dw = 60 + 5 m/sec * t
Then we make dj = dw
8*t = 60 + 5*t
3*t = 60
t = 20 sec
Now passed 20 sec dj = 8 * 20 = 160 m
and dw = 60 + 5*20 dw = 160 m
When 2 lines are parallel to each other mean than they have same gradient
y=5x +2
Gradient=5
Let the parallel equation be y=5x +c
Since this equation pass through (4,7), means that the point satisfy the parallel equation
7=5(4)+c
C=7-20=-13
So the parallel equation required is y=5x-13
Hope this can help.
