OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

mmmm.... I'm not sure on this, sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (perl):

compare graphs 1 / ( x - 2) to 1 / ( x - 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how graph these

OpenStudy (perl):

here https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ca2z0rxzqt

OpenStudy (perl):

what is the overall effect on increasing the 2 to 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To add on, think vertical asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shift to the left??

OpenStudy (perl):

the graph in red is 1/(x-2) the graph in blue is 1/(x-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U r a idiot PERL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

JKING!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No hard feelings no hard fellings

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confussed i was not tough this :/ new school teacher a jerk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look what direction the graph moved Compare red to blue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to the right then?

OpenStudy (perl):

the graph 1/(x-4) is more to the right than 1/(x-2) it might help by looking at the red graph by itself

OpenStudy (perl):

correct

OpenStudy (perl):

imagine moving the red graph to the right until it coincides with the blue, thats whats happening

OpenStudy (perl):

now the original question was a little different , you had ( x - a ) / ( x - b) , not 1 / (x-b) but the overall effect is still moving to the right

OpenStudy (perl):

the vertical asymptote moves to the right

OpenStudy (perl):

let me draw the vertical asymptotes

OpenStudy (perl):

here they are with asymptotes https://www.desmos.com/calculator/y6aqimiul6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so D is the answer?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes :)

OpenStudy (perl):

and you can play around with the graph try graphing (x-2)/(x-4) and (x-5)/(x-4) what is the effect of increasing the 'a' in (x-a)

OpenStudy (perl):

thats just for fun (not your homework question)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do this one?
