Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the slant asymptote

To find the slant asymptote, we perform polynomial long division on the rational function f(x)=x2+6x−7x−7 f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 6x - 7}{x - 7} .

Step 2: Perform polynomial long division

x−7x2+6x−7x+13 \begin{array}{r|rr} x - 7 & x^2 + 6x - 7 \\ \hline & x + 13 \\ \end{array} The quotient is x+13 x + 13 , which is the slant asymptote.

Step 3: Find the vertical asymptote

The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero. Setting x−7=0 x - 7 = 0 , we get: x=7 x = 7

Final Answer

The slant asymptote is y=x+13 y = x + 13 .

The vertical asymptote is x=7 x = 7 .

When you drop a 0.39 kg apple, Earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it at 9.8 m/s^2 toward the earth's surface. According to Newton's third law, the apple must exert an equal but opposite force on Earth. If the mass of the earth 5.98 x 10^24 kg, what is the magnitude of the earth's acceleration toward the apple? Answer in units of m/s^2.
