Problem 1 Find all zeros and vertical asymptotes of the rati
Problem #1
Find all zeros and vertical asymptotes of the rational function
- The function has vertical asymptote(s) when x=__________
-The function has horizontal asymptote(s) when y=____________
Problem #2
Estimate the one-sided limits below.
Problem #3
Consider the function:
If this function has a horizontal asymptote, give its there is no horizontal asymptote type
y=______________
Find the y-intercept
y=______________
Solution
f(x) = (x^3 -27)/(-x^3 -27x)
Vertical asymtote : plug -x^3 -27x =0
x=0 ; -x^2 -27 =0 ---> x^2 = -27 (imaginary)
So, x= 0 is the vertical asymtote
Horizontal asymtote: degree of both num and den are same so : y = x^3/-x^3 = -1
y = -1
3) f(x) = (7x +9)(2x+5)/(2x -8)(4x+2)
Horiaonal asymtote : as degree of num, and den, are same so, horizontal asymtote is ratio of coeffcientof highets degree terms.
y = 14x^2/8x^2 = 14/8 = 7/4
y = 7/4
y intercept: plug x=0 ; y =( 9*5)/-8*2 = -45/16
y= -45/16
