Problem 10 :

Suppose you start a home business typing technical research papers for college students. You must spend $3500 to replace your computer system. Then you estimate the cost of typing each page will be $0.02.

a. Write a rational function modeling your average cost per page. Graph the function.

b. How many pages must you type to bring your average cost per page to less than $1.50 per page, the amount you plan to charge?

Solution

Answer Key

1) Vertical asymptotes are x = -2 and x = 2.

There is a hole at x = 2.

2)  Vertical asymptotes are x = 0 and x = 1.

There is a hole at x = 0.

3)  Vertical asymptotes are x = 1 and x = -1.

There is no hole for the given rational function

4)  vertical asymptote is x = -2.

There is no hole for the given rational function.

5) There is no asymptote.

There is no hole for the given rational function.

6)  vertical asymptotes are x = -3 and x = 3.

There is a hole at x = -3.

7)  Vertical asymptote is x = 4.

there is no hole for the given rational function.

8)  vertical asymptotes are x = -4/5 and x = 3.

there is no hole for the given rational function.

9)  the vertical asymptotes are x = 2 and x = -2.

there is no hole for the given rational function.

10) a)
