@jim_thompson5910
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
were you able to get anywhere with this one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to do.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's the vertical asymptote

are you asking me the definition?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no I'm asking what is the vertical asymptote in this case
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
x - 3 = 0
x = ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so that's the vertical asymptote
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
the horizontal asymptote is y = 5 since that's the term being added on
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
there are no x-intercepts, but there is one y-intercept
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you plug in x = 0 to find y to get the y-intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so y= -0.33 repeating

good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that should be enough info to graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do I just graph 3,-0.33
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you graph the horizontal and vertical asymptoes
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then you plot the y-intercept

and draw a hyperbola through that point
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Omg I'm confused. SO I'm graphing 3 and 5 right?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
here's an blank xy axis
|dw:1365136831053:dw|
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
now graph the vertical asymptote x = 3 (dashed vertical line
|dw:1365136855864:dw|
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and the horizontal asymptote y = 5 (dashed horizontal line)
|dw:1365136904667:dw|

then plot the point (0, -0.333333)
