Simplify the linear expression

Answer:

\huge\boxed{-\frac{7}{8}a - \frac{1}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

This question utilizes combining like terms and common denominators. First you have to convert both terms including "a" to have a denominator of 8. You would do this by multiplying both the numerator, and the denominator by the same value. This value in the case of -\frac{1}{4} a would be 2, and in the case of \frac{2}{3} the value would be 2. This would result in the equation: -\frac{5}{8}a+\frac{4}{6}-\frac{2}{8}a-\frac{5}{6}. Then simply combine like terms to get your final answer.

What is the equation of the oblique asymptote?<br> h(x) = x² – 3x - 4/x + 2
NNADVOKAT [17]

Simplifying h(x) gives

h(x) = (x² - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)

h(x) = ((x² + 4x + 4) - 4x - 4 - 3x - 4) / (x + 2)

h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7x - 8) / (x + 2)

h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 14 - 8) / (x + 2)

h(x) = ((x + 2)² - 7 (x + 2) - 22) / (x + 2)

h(x) = (x + 2) - 7 - 22/(x + 2)

h(x) = x - 5 - 22/(x + 2)

An oblique asymptote of h(x) is a linear function p(x) = ax + b such that

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\pm\infty} h(x) - p(x) = 0

In the simplified form of h(x), taking the limit as x gets arbitrarily large, we obviously have -22/(x + 2) converging to 0, while x - 5 approaches either +∞ or -∞. If we let p(x) = x - 5, however, we do have h(x) - p(x) approaching 0. So the oblique asymptote is the line y = x - 5.
