Algebra.Com's Answer #76052 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "verticle assymptote: Check the denominator. What value for x makes the denominator zero? Ans. x=2. That is the verticle assymptote where division by zero is not allowed. \n" ); document.write( "horizontal assymptote: m is the degree of the polynomial denominator. n is the degree of the polynomial numerator. \n" ); document.write( "for m \n" ); document.write( "for m>n there is no h.a. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "for m=n the h.a. is the line a[m]/b[n] is our case. 2x/x=2 so y=2 is the verticle assymptote. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x intercept when y=0: 2x/(x+2)=0...x=0 \n" ); document.write( "intercept when x=0: 0/2=0...y=0 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps. \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " |
