Width of the actual barrier = 1.2 miles

Width of the barrier in the blueprint = 2 inches

2 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2 miles of original

So, 1 inch dimension of blueprint = 1.2/2 = 0.6 miles.

Since the length of the barrier in the blueprint = 9 inches,

length of the actual barrier = 9(0.6) = 5.4 miles.

What is the horizontal asymptote of the rational function f(x) = 3x / (2x - 1)?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explain

Find the horizontal asymptote for f(x)=(3x^2-1)/(2x-1) :

A rational function will have a horizontal asymptote of y=0 if the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. It will have a horizontal asymptote of y=a_n/b_n if the degree of the numerator is the same as the degree of the denominator (where a_n,b_n are the leading coefficients of the numerator and denominator respectively when both are in standard form.)

If a rational function has a numerator of greater degree than the denominator, there will be no horizontal asymptote. However, if the degrees are 1 apart, there will be an oblique (slant) asymptote.

For the given function, there is no horizontal asymptote.

We can find the slant asymptote by using long division:

(3x^2-1)/(2x-1)=(2x-1)(3/2x+3/4-(1/4)/(2x-1))

The slant asymptote is y=3/2x+3/4

A right rectangular prism has a volume of 470.40 cm³. The length of the solid is 6.4 cm and the width is 9.8 cm.
Bogdan [553]
V = l * w * h
470.40 = 6.4 * 9.8 * h
Multiply the length and width on the right side of the equation.

470.40 = 62.72 * h
Divide both sides by 62.72
7.5 cm = h

CHECK
V = l * w * h
V = 6.4 * 9.8 * 7.5
V = 470.4 cm^3
