Sagot :

Using the vertical asymptote of the function, it is found that it is given by:

[tex]f(x) = -1.5\frac{(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]

What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

In this problem, the x-intercept of the graph is x=4, hence the numerator is a(x - 4).

The graph has one vertical asymptote at x=2, hence the denominator is x - 2.

Hence:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{a(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]

The y-intercept of the graph is y=−3, hence:

[tex]-3 = \frac{a(0 - 4)}{0 - 2}[/tex]

[tex]-4a = 6[/tex]

[tex]a = -1.5[/tex]

Thus, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = -1.5\frac{(x - 4)}{x - 2}[/tex]
