If f(x)=3+5/x, which of the following CANNOT be value of f(x)? -5/3 -3/5 0 5/3 3
so wich one when put on y,gives x as 0
remember hyperbola horizontal asymptote
0, because you can't divide by 0.
no
that will be correct if they where looking for x-value
y=3 is the HA-horizontal asymtote
if 5/x = -3 then f(x) = 0 so its not this option
try equating eg 3 + 5/x = -5/3 5/x = - -14/3 -14x = 15 - so it can't be first choice -5/3
3 is correct choice 3 + 5/x = 3 5/x = 0 x x = 5/0 which is indeterminate
x=15/-14 is a legitimate answer, so -5/3 can be a value of x.
* x = 5/0
yes -5/3 can be a value of f(x)
@cwrw238 u can never divide by 0 though
division by 0 can never be done 5 /0 is meaningless - no matter how many 0;s you add together the sum will be zero - never 5
correct answer is 3 f(x) = 3 + 5/x can never have a value 3
