Question

graph the function 4/x^2+5X+4
1. where is the symmetry
2. y int:
3.x int:
4. y cordinate of the horizontal retricemptote
5.x cordinate of the horizontal retricemptote

Answer 1

please help

Answer 2

the question is not clear. rewrite it using brackets

Answer 3

(4)/(x^2+5x+4)

Answer 4

Using y = ax^2 + bx + c that is in this example a = 1, b = 5 and c = 4
find the axis of symmetry using the formula x =-b/2a. Draw an x and y axis then draw a vertical dotted line for where you found your axis of symmetry.

Answer 5

You're going to have to find the y value that goes with this x axis of symmetry value. Plug it into the equation. TADA! You should have the coordinate of the vertex!
Now choose values of x either side of your axis of symmetry, two x values either side of the axis of symmetry is ideal. Plug those values into your equation to find the y values. Plot all these points, join the "dots" that is coordinates, draw arrows to show that this function continues.

Answer 6

To find the x and y intercepts, plug in x = 0 for the y intercept and plug in y = 0 for the x intercept.

Answer 7

Finally, an asymptote is a straight line that a curve/equation/function won't cross - kinda like a line with cooties ;) Can you see where the graph has any invisible lines where it just won't cross? I'll give you a hint:- the graph has no vertical asymptotes but there sure is a horizontal one.
