Let f(x)= x(2x-3)/(x+2)x. Find the domain, vertical and horizontal asymptote
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain of a rational function is everywhere except where we set vertical asymptotes. or removable discontinues
Here, we have
First, notice we have x in both the numerator and denomiator so we have a removable discounties at x.
Since, we don't want x to be 0,
We have a removable discontinuity at x=0
Now, we have
We don't want the denomiator be zero because we can't divide by zero.
so
So our domain is
All Real Numbers except-2 and 0.
The vertical asymptors is x=-2.
To find the horinzontal asymptote, notice how the numerator and denomator have the same degree. So this mean we will have a horinzontal asymptoe of
The leading coeffixent of the numerator/ the leading coefficent of the denomiator.
So that becomes
So we have a horinzontal asymptofe of 2

Explanation:
Given:
The equation describing the forest wood biomass per hectare as a function of plantation age t is:
y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4
The equation that describes the annual growth in wood biomass is:
y ′ (t) = 0.01t + 0.072t^2 - 0.018t^3
To find:
a) The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value
b) when does y ′ (t) achieve its highest value?
a)
To determine the year the highest possible value was achieved, we will set the derivative y'(t) to zero. The values of t will be substituted into the second derivative to get the highest value
SInce t = 4.13, gives y ′' (t) = -0.316 (< 0). This makes it the maximum value of t
The year the annual growth achieved its highest possible value to the nearest whole number will be
year 4
b) y ′ (t) will achieve its highest value, when we substitute the value of t that gives into the initial function.
Initial function: y(t) = 5 + 0.005t^2 + 0.024t^3 − 0.0045t^4
with y equaling the total and x equaling the number if months
