Answer:

Vertical asymptote: x=2

Horizontal asymptote: y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The parent function for a rational function has a horizontal asymptote at y=0 and a vertical asymptote at x=0.

First, we want to perform long division on 5x/x-2. Please check the image attached.

The result is $5+\displaystyle\frac{10}{x-2}$ .

Here are the transformations of a rational function:

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac{a}{b(x-h)}+k$

a = vertical stretch

b = horizontal stretch

h = horizontal translation

k = vertical translation

Stretches don't change the location of the asymptotes, only the translations do.

According to $5+\displaystyle\frac{10}{x-2}$ , we applied a horizontal translation of 2 units right and a vertical translation of 5 units up. Therefore, our asymptotes are now x=2 and y=5.

I hope this helps!

1.Arsenic-74 is used to locate brain tumors. It has a half-life of 17.5 days. 90 mg wereused in a procedure. Write an equation t

Sophie [7]

$1)\text{ }N_t\text{ = 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{17.5}}$

2) 5.625 mg will be left

Explanation:

1) Half-life = 17.5 days

initial amount of Arsenic-74 = 90 mg

To get the equation, we will use the equation of half-life:

$\begin{gathered} N_t\text{ = N}_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}} \\ where\text{ N}_t\text{ = amount remaining} \\ N_0\text{ = initial amount} \\ t_{\frac{1}{2}\text{ }}\text{ = half-life} \end{gathered}$ $N_t\text{ = 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{17.5}}$

2) we need to find the remaining amount of Arsenic-74 after 70 days

t = 70

$\begin{gathered} N_t=\text{ 90\lparen}\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{70}{17.5}} \\ N_t\text{ = 5.625 mg} \end{gathered}$

So after 70 days, 5.625 mg will be left

12p < 96 A. p < 8 B. p < 108 C. p < 84 D. p > –8

inessss [21]

Solution:

Note that:

Given inequality: 12p < 96

Dividing both sides by 12:

12p < 96
=> 12p/12 < 96/12
=> p < 8

Correct option is A.

Sam and his friend went out for pancakes. They ordered a huge stack of pancakes but the waitress didn't give them enough maple syrup. Sam got 1/5 of a cup of syrup and his friend got 1/2 of a cup. If they wanted a lot of syrup, they would have to combine their cup of syrup.
How much syrup would they have if they combined their cups of syrup?

Now solve.
First, find the common denominator
10 is the common denominator
1/5=2/10 1/2=5/10
2/10+5/10=7/10

Sam and his friend has 7/10 cups of syrup, now they have enough and are satisfied
