Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of −5 is also 5. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is its POSITIVE distance from 0. We notate absolute value as |x|.

For example, if you wanted to determine the absolute value of -5, you would write it as |-5| which is 5.

-5 is 5 away from 0, so this confirms the answer is right.

Find the vertical asymptote(s) of f of x equals quantity 5 x squared plus 3x plus 6 end quantity over quantity x squared minus 1

Answer:

x = 10 and x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

$f(x)=\dfrac{5x^2+3x+6}{x^2-100}$

This function is undefied when the denominator equals to 0. Find these values for x:

$x^2-100=0\\ \\(x-10)(x+10)=0\\ \\x-10=0\ \ \text{or}\ \ x+10=0\\ \\x=10\ \ \text{or}\ \ x=-10$

This means that vertical lines x = 10 and x = -10 are vertical asymptotes (the graph of the function f(x) cannot meet these lines because this function is undefined at x = 10 and x = -10)
