Describe the behavior of the function ppp around its vertical asymptote at x=-2x=−2x, equals, minus, 2.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$ -- Missing from the question

Required

The behavior of the function around its vertical asymptote at $x = -2$

$p(x) = \frac{x^2-2x-3}{x+2}$

Expand the numerator

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 + x -3x - 3}{x+2}$

Factorize

$p(x) = \frac{x(x + 1) -3(x + 1)}{x+2}$

Factor out x + 1

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

We test the function using values close to -2 (one value will be less than -2 while the other will be greater than -2)

We are only interested in the sign of the result

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As x approaches -2 implies that:

$x -> -2^{-}$ Say x = -3

$p(x) = \frac{(x -3)(x + 1)}{x+2}$

$p(-3) = \frac{(-3-3)(-3+1)}{-3+2} = \frac{-6 * -2}{-1} = \frac{+12}{-1} = -12$

We have a negative value (-12); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x approaches -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$

Take note of the superscript of 2 (this implies that, we approach 2 from a value less than 2)

As x leaves -2 implies that: $x>-2$

Say x = -2.1

$p(-2.1) = \frac{(-2.1-3)(-2.1+1)}{-2.1+2} = \frac{-5.1 * -1.1}{-0.1} = \frac{+5.61}{-0.1} = -56.1$

We have a negative value (-56.1); This will be called negative infinity

This implies that as x leaves -2, p(x) approaches negative infinity

$x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

So, the behavior is:

$x->-2^{-}, p(x)->-\infty$ and as $x->-2^{+}, p(x)->-\infty$

Been waiting for half an hour pls help me

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

13.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 360° in a circle and in this image, we can see 90°+90°+66.4°=260.4
since we know that 360°-260.4°=99.6°
The angle measure of arc AD is 99.6°

Now that we covered that, we can use the arc length formula in order to find the length of arc AD.

arc length = 2πr(Θ/360°)
2π(7.9)(99.6°/360°) = 13.7329
rounded to the nearest tenth = 13.7

What is the value of x?

hammer [34]

Answer:

16.

How to find... ↓

The small triangle is 1/3 size of the big triangle.

If this is the case, find the LCF here, 4, and multiply each angle's value by the least common factor, 4.

3 x 4 (bottom) = 12

5 x 4 (right side) = 20

4 x 4 (left side <em>the missing side) </em>= 16

Therefore,

The missing side value, <em>x</em>, is 16.

Answer each question below.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf L = 78\°}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given that:</u></h3>

Exterior angle of L = 5x + 12

M = 3x - 2

N = 50

<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>

Exterior angle is equal to the sum of non-adjacent interior angles.

So, the exterior angle that is adjacent to L is equal to the sum of non-adjacent sides (M and N) of the triangle.

Here,

Exterior angle of L = M + N

5x + 12 = 3x - 2 + 50

5x + 12 = 3x + 48

Subtract 12 to both sides

5x = 3x + 48 - 12

5x - 3x = 36

2x = 36

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 18

So,

<h3><u>Measure of angle M:</u></h3>

= 3x - 2

= 3 (18) - 2

= 54 - 2

= 52°

Now,

<h3><u>Measure of angle L:</u></h3>

Sum of all the interior angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

L + M + N = 180°

L + 52 + 50 = 180

L + 102 = 180

Subtract 102 to both sides

L = 180 - 102

L = 78°
