Re: math wiz

f(x)= (5 x - 9)(x+7) / (-9 x - 8) (7 x - 9)

what are the vertical and horizontal asymptotes?
and x and y intercepts?

Re: math wiz

ok, so shud i answer this or have u already figured it out?

Re: math wiz

please do

Re: math wiz

Bismillah.

f(x)= (5 x - 9)(x+7) / (-9 x - 8) (7 x - 9)

  1. y-intercept

exists when x=0 right? so sub in x=0 into the equation above.

you should get y-intercept= -7/8

  1. x-intercept

exists when y=0. Now this means that the numerator has to equal 0.

hence, (5 x - 9).(x+7)= 0
i.e. x= 9/5 OR x=-7

  1. horizontal Asmytopes exist when the denominator equal 0 (bcoz this is when the equation is infinite/ undefined)

hence;
(-9 x - 8). (7 x - 9)= 0
x= -8/9 OR x= 9/7

did this quickly, may have made calc mistakes, check to see the answer is correct :)

Re: math wiz

:jazak:

still don’t get correct answer - at least that’s what the comp is saying
im getting the same as you but maybe im missing something

Re: math wiz

^ let me know when u figure it out :k:

also, check the question again, a misplaced +/- could make a lot of difference.

btw, do none of your answer coincide with the computer’s answers?

^ :barbie:

aik to jawab ghalat uper say us ko prove kerna k sahi hai :smilestar:

btw khoob roshan ker rahi hoo naam mera :smokin:

Re: math wiz

^ tumhara naam? :konfused:

and i answered from what i remembered :snooty: koi guarentee nahi di thi acha!

and besides, i asked CP to investigate, not to prove ye disprove, aiN barhi! Daadi Amma :hehe:

Re: math wiz

i never pay attention to mathes…too much puzzeling involved…but still ma grades are gud..could be better though

bas dhimaagh barha tez hai:snooty:…light ki speed sai bi tezi sai doorhta hai:blush: …

Re: math wiz

hmm there is i think 1 answer that is right out of 3. but it doesn’t say which

here’s the function as it appears on the system:

Re: math wiz

yaar to thora sa dhimaagh laga ke apne bhai ki madat kar

Re: math wiz

hint: solve it counter-clock wise :smokin:

Re: math wiz

^ hint ki jaga becharey ko kar ke kyouN nahi dikha de ti :emmy:

Re: math wiz

^ yes what she says. plus some art work with it would be nice :D

Re: math wiz

btw CP; i plotted the function on excel... the x, y intercepts as well as the asymtopes "look" like they are in the right place....

Re: math wiz

yes then i guess the computer don't want to take it. :S thanks for the help. gonna go complain to the prof about this great new technology.

Re: math wiz

^ LOL, pehley apney class mates se check kar lo… ye na ho ke tum Prof se complain karo aur woh tumhari hi kachi ho ja’e :cb:

Re: math wiz

when you say the computer... what program / tool are you using.

I think pinks solution is fine.

I am using WebWorks sir.
