Question

The line y = mx + m intersects the graph of y = x^2 at x = m + 2. Find the value of m.

Answer 1

If you take the limit as x goes to infinity the top goes to x^2, and the bottom goes to x

Answer 2

The function reduces to x^2/x=x, which has no vertical asymptote

Answer 3

i think h.aysmp. y= -infinity

Answer 4

Sorry, what I said was correct, but I meant horizontal, not vertical.

Answer 5

x^2=mx+m

Answer 6

(m+2)^2=m(m+2+1)

Answer 7

m^2+4m+4=m^2+3m

Answer 8

m=-4
