Answer:

When dividing rational numbers, multiply by the "right" reciprocal. In this case, the "right" reciprocal means to take the reciprocal of the fraction on the right-hand side of the division operator.

NOTE//the reciprocal of an rational number is the Rational Number Obtained after interchanging the Numerator and Denominator is called Reciprocal of a Rational Number.

D(x)=(x^2-12x+20)/(3x)
krok68 [10]

Answers:

Vertical asymptote: x = 0

Horizontal asymptote: None

Slant asymptote: (1/3)x - 4

<u>Explanation:</u>

d(x) = \frac{x^{2}-12x+20}{3x}

      = \frac{(x-2)(x - 10)}{3x}

Discontinuities: (terms that cancel out from numerator and denominator):

Nothing cancels so there are NO discontinuities.

Vertical asymptote (denominator cannot equal zero):

3x ≠ 0  

<u>÷3</u>   <u>÷3 </u>

x ≠ 0

So asymptote is to be drawn at x = 0

Horizontal asymptote (evaluate degree of numerator and denominator):

degree of numerator (2) > degree of denominator (1)

so there is NO horizontal asymptote but slant (oblique) must be calculated.

Slant (Oblique) Asymptote (divide numerator by denominator):

  •        <u>(1/3)x - 4    </u>
  •    3x)    x² - 12x + 20
  •             <u>x²        </u>
  •                  -12x
  •                  <u>-12x         </u>
  •                             20 (stop! because there is no "x")

So, slant asymptote is to be drawn at (1/3)x - 4

Applying GCF and LCM to fraction Operations?<br>.<br>. PLZ HELP

When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.

To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.

To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.

To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.

You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.

For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)

Line m passes through the points (2, -7) and (4, -9) line m is parallel to which line
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The Answer is: The slope is -1, so any line with the same slope is parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points (2, -7) and (4, -9) find the slope, m:

m = y - y1 / (x - x1)

m = -7 - (-9)/(2 - 4)

m = -7 + 9/-2

m = 2/-2

m = -1

A parallel line is any line with the same slope which is -1.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome day!!  :-)
