c. Which graph belongs to function f and which belongs to function g?
d. Jasper has drawn the graph for a fractional function. His graph has the line y = -3 as the horizontal asymptote and the line x = 4 as the vertical asymptote. Give a possible function notation for Jasper's graph.
+9488 Assuming that f(x) = 2+20x−3 and g(x) = −3+322x+4
| a.__ | |
| y = f(x) y = 2+20x−3 | |
|
| y is undefined when x - 3 = 0 so there is a vertical asymptote at x = 3 |
| y−2 = 20x−3 (x−3)(y−2) = 20 x−3 = 20y−2 | |
|
| x is undefined when y - 2 = 0 so there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 2 |
| The equations for the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of f(x) are: x = 3 and y = 2 | |
|
b. | |
| y = g(x) y = −3+322x+4 | |
|
| y is undefined when 2x + 4 = 0 so there is a vertical asymptote at x = -2 |
| y+3 = 322x+4 (2x+4)(y+3) = 32 2x+4 = 32y+3 | |
|
| x is undefined when y + 3 = 0 so there is a horizontal asymptote at y = -3 |
| The equations for the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the graph of g(x) are: x = -2 and y = -3 | |
|
c. | |
| Here is a graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/7zrrangdvv | |
|
| (Note you can hide or show f(x) or g(x) and its asymptotes by clicking the circles beside the function.) |
| Graph 2 belongs to f(x) and graph 1 belongs to g(x) . | |
|
d. | |
| A possible function is: f(x) = −3+1x−4_ |
