The correct fraction is 60/10 or 6 rows of ten
10/60= 1/6 not a whole number

SOMEOne PLS EXPLAIN VERTICAL ASYMPTOTES TO ME IM DYING- i need to know how u get the asymptote(explanation) and answer T^TTTTTTT

Kitty [74]

A vertical asymptote is what you get when you try to divide by 0. To find where you get these, you need to look at the denominator and what values of x will make the denominator equal to 0.

In your denominator, you have (x+7)(x-5)(x-3).
What values of x makes (x+7)(x-5)(x-3)=0?
If x = -7, if x = 5, or if x = 3, then that entire expression will equal zero. (Same idea as when you solve equations by factoring.

Now the only place this can get trickier is if one of those factors — one of (x+7), (x-5), or (x-3) — also appears in the numerator. If that happens, then it’s more involved whether you have an asymptote or not. But that doesn’t happen in this example.

So the short version: Asymptotes happen when you try to divide by zero. Dividing by zero is not a good thing. So you just ask yourself, “What will make the denominator 0?”

Is this a complementary ,linear pair,vertical or adjacent?

vovangra [49]

Answer: Linear

Explanation: A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

The length of a rectangle is 59 inches greater than twice the width. If the diagonal is 2 inches more than the length, find the

Paul [167]

So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
$\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\ \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}$

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"
