ANSWER
a=1 and b=-12
EXPLANATION
The hyperbola has a hole at:
x=3
and a vertical asymptote at x=-4.
This implies that the denominator of the rational function is
(x-3)(x+4)
We expand to get;
This simplifies to:
comparing to
We have a=1 and b=-12
<em>What is X?</em>
<em>I say that X = 2</em>
Answer: slope = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: rise/run - from one point to the next the line goes up one and over 2, therefor rise = 1 run=2.
The percentage of profit margin that
the plumbing supplies manager realizes that he has = 15%
Total sales for the month made by the plumbing supplies manager = $23000
Then
Amount of profit that has been made
by the plumbing sales manager = 15% * 23000 dollars
= (15/100) * 23000 dollars
= 15 * 230 dollars
= 3450 dollars
So the plumbing manager makes a profit of $3450 in the month as can be seen from the above deduction.
