The polynomial below is a perfect square trinomial of the form a2 - 2ab + b2
1 answer:
This is a true statement. Here's how we know. The factors of that general formula are (ax - b)(ax - b). If that is in fact the general formula of the quadratic shown, then our a would be 2 and our b would be 3, since 2 times 2 is 4 which is the leading coefficient, and 3 times 3 is 9 which is the constant. Those factors, filled in accordingly, would be (2x - 3)(2x - 3). If we FOIL those out we should get back the quadratic in question. FOILing gives us
which of course simplifies to

Answer:
Horizontal Asymptote: y=2
Vertical Asymptote: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
One way: Look at graph
Look at for a horizontal or vertical line that both lines don't touch.
Second Way:
When you look for vertical asymptotes, you set the denominator equal to zero and solve.
For example, the second question has a denominator of x-3.
x-3=0
x=3 (This is the vertical asymptote)
When you look for horizontal asymptote, you do long division.
For example, the first question
The answer will be 2. 2 is the quotient. You only want quotient not remainder.
y=2.
