Algebra.Com's Answer #91906 by uma(370)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! (a) given f(x) = (2x+3)/(x+2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To get the vertical asymptote, set the denominator to 0 \n" ); document.write( "==> x+2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "==> x = -2 is the equation of the vertical asymptote. \n" ); document.write( "Now divide all the terms of the function by x and set lt x-> infinity.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> f(x) = (2 + 3/x)/ (1 + 2/x) \n" ); document.write( "AS x -> infinity, we have f(x) = 2/1 = 2 \n" ); document.write( "Thus y = 1 is the equation of the horizontal asymptote.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(b)As x^2 + 1 = 0 does not have a real solution, there is no vertical asymptote. \n" ); document.write( "Divide each term by x^2 and setting lt x-> 0, we get y = 0 \n" ); document.write( "So y = 0 is the equation of the horizontal asymptote.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "good luck!!! \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
