Question

Can someone help me understand how to do this problem?

Answer 1

@Nnesha

Answer 2

when x=0, y=1
that looks like enough info to select an answer, only one satisfies the point (0,1)

Answer 3

so i just plug in the numbers to the variables?

Answer 4

For this one, there is only one answer that goes through the point (0,1) . All the other info really isnt needed.

Answer 5

oh ok but i still dont know how to get the answer like what is the process? is there a formula i go by?

Answer 6

The vertical asmytotes are where the denominator will = 0,
x^2-9 = 0

x=+or-3

Answer 7

The first thing i did was plug in the point (0,1) that they gave you

f(0) = 1

Answer 8

When x=0, only one of the answers equals 1.

Answer 9

oh so A because 3^2=9 and 9/9=1

Answer 10

The point they give is (0,1)
When x=0 , y = f(0) = 1

\[f(1) = \frac{ -9 }{ 0^2-9 } = \frac{ -9 }{ -9 } = 1\]

Answer 11

Choice A , when x=0, would be

\[f(0) = \frac{ 9}{ 0-9} = \frac{ 9 }{ -9 } = -1\]

not 1, so not the answer

Answer 12

so C bc that wud get 1 instead of -1

Answer 13

Choice B , X=0, then
\[f(x) = \frac{ 1 }{ 0 } = undefined\]

Answer 14

right, choice C is the only function that goes through the point x=0, y=1

Answer 15

oh i see now...thank you so much..i understand the process now ^.^

Answer 16

this one was pretty easy, you didn't have to know anything about the vertical or horizontal asymtotes to get the answer...

Answer 17

hmm well i may need help on some others when they arent this easy so can i just tag you in them if i need help on understanding how that process is?

Answer 18

sure

Answer 19

ok i found one that is a bit more difficult i will make a new post tho to give you another metal for your cooperation.
