Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Next time, please enclose the quantity in the denom. inside parentheses, to eliminate any ambiquity regarding what the divisor is.
2x 2(x)
f(x) = --------------- = -------------------
3x² - 3 3(x - 1)(x + 1)
This is the same as:
2 x
--- * ------------
3 (x-1(x+1)
As x grows large, the 2nd fraction approaches 1/x as a limit, which goes to zero. Hence, the end behavior involves the x-axis as the horizontal asymptote. This agrees with the first answer choice.
The graph approaches 0 as x approaches infinity as well as x approaches negative infinity for the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{2x}{3x^{2} -3}[/tex]. This can be obtained by putting ∞ and -∞ in the f(x).
Option 1: When x=∞,
Divide each term by x², [tex]f(x)=\frac{\frac{2}{x^{2} } }{3-\frac{3}{x^{2} } }[/tex]
Put x=∞, [tex]\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x)[/tex]=0/3-0=0 (∵1/∞=0)
The graph approaches 0 as x approaches infinity.
∴The statement is true.
Option 2: When x= -∞,
Divide each term by x², [tex]f(x)=\frac{\frac{2}{x^{2} } }{3-\frac{3}{x^{2} } }[/tex]
Put x= -∞, [tex]\lim_{x \to -\infty} f(x)[/tex]=0/3-0=0
The graph approaches 0 as x approaches negative infinity.
∴The statement is true.
Option 3: It is already solved that graph approaches 0 as x approaches infinity.
∴The statement is false.
Option 4: It is already solved that graph approaches 0 as x approaches infinity.
∴The statement is false.
Hence the graph approaches 0 as x approaches infinity as well as x approaches negative infinity for the function [tex]f(x)=\frac{2x}{3x^{2} -3}[/tex]. Therefore option 1 and 2 are true.
