The limit is x---->4-
The negative show that x approaches from the left
Now
As x approaches 4 from the left ... Means This number should be less than 4 (<4) but really close to 4.
Let's pick a Number
Say 3.99
Substitute this... You have
3.99/3.99-4
3.99/-0.01
If we choose x to be 3.999
we will have
3.999/-0.001
Notice the pattern... As x approaches 4 from the left... This limit will approach NEGATIVE INFINITY
Why?
As you approach 4 from the left... 3.9,3.99,3.999... You notice that the denominator becomes negative and EXTREMELY SMALL... and when you divide by an extremely small Number..... You'll get a relatively HUGE VALUE(You can try this... Use a calc... Divide any number of choice by a very small number... say.. 0.0000001.... You'll get a huge result
In our case... The denominator is negative... So it Will Approach a very Huge Negative Number
Hence
Answer.. X WILL APPROACH NEGATIVE INFINITY.
Vertical asymptotes are the zeroes of the denominator of a function
The denom. is x-4
Equate to zero to get the asymptote
x-4=0
x=4
Hence... There will be a vertical asymptote at x=4.
Have a great day!
Answer: i think its d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 2 : 50 pm
Step-by-step explanation:
If Jan took a break at 3:05 pm and she had been jumping rope for 15 minutes before that, to find the time she started jumping rope, subtract 15 from the current time:
= 3:05 - 15
= 2:50 pm
<em>Jan started jumping rope at 2 : 50 pm </em>
Answer:
a) -10 b) 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 2(x+ 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -6 - 4
x = -10
b) 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7
16 people would be at the dinner because Jim and Sarah invited 7 friends and each friend brought 1 guest, so you do 7*2=14 and the 14 + Jim and Sarah=16 people.
