Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, both legs are always congruent. The length of one leg is given, and the other leg has to be the same. The perimeter of this triangle can be written as:

x+(3x-5)+(3x-5)=39

With this equation, all you need to do is solve for x.

3+3x-5+3x-5=39\\(-5-5)+(x+3x+3x)=39\\-10+7x=39\\7x=49\\x=7

Please help quick will give brainliest!

Answer: Choice A) There must be a vertical asymptote at x = c

Explanation:

The first limit \displaystyle \lim_{x\to c^{-}}h(x) = -\infty says that as x approaches c from the left side, the f(x) or y values approach negative infinity. So the graph goes down forever as x approaches this c value from the left side.

The limit \displaystyle \lim_{x\to c^{+}}h(x) = \infty means that as x approaches c from the right side, the y values head off to positive infinity.

Either of these facts are enough to conclude that we have a vertical asymptote at x = c. We can think of it like an electric fence in which we can get closer to, but not actually touch it.
