consider the following Find the intercepts horizontal smalle
consider the following.
Find the intercepts
horizontal: (smaller value)
horivontal: (larger value)
vertical intercept
Find the verticla asymptote and horizontal asymptote
f(x)=2x2-18/x2+x-2
Solution
f(x)= (2x2-18)/(x2+x-2)
Intercepts : xintercept ; 2x^2 -18 =0 ; x = -3,3
smaller value x = -3 ; larger value : x =3
y intercepts : plug x =0 ; f(0) = -18/-2 = 9
(0, 9)
Vertiical asymtote : x^2 + x -2 =0
x^2 +2x -x -2 =0 ; x(x+2) -1(x+2) =0
( x -1)(x +2) =0 ; x = 1 ; x = -2
Horizontal asymtote : y = 2x^2/x = 2
y = 2
