Which of the following functions has a vertical asymptote at \(\mathrm{x}=-1\). (A) \(y=\frac{\left|x^{2}-1\right|}{x+1}\) (B) \(y=\frac{x^{2}-6 x-7}{x+1}\) (C) \(y=\frac{x^{2}+1}{x+1}\) (D) \(y=\frac{\sin (x+2)}{x+1}\)

Short Answer

Answer: (B), (C), and (D)

Step by step solution

01

Function A

Evaluate the limit as x approaches -1 for the first function: \[y = \frac{|x^2-1|}{x+1}\] We need to check if the denominator approaches zero and the numerator does not. When x = -1, \[y = \frac{|(-1)^2-1|}{-1+1}\] \[y=\frac{0}{0}\] Since both the numerator and the denominator approach zero, we do not have a vertical asymptote at x=-1 for this function.
02

Function B

Evaluate the limit as x approaches -1 for the second function: \[y = \frac{x^2-6x-7}{x+1}\] When x = -1, \[y = \frac{(-1)^2-6(-1)-7}{-1+1}\] \[y = \frac{6}{0}\] Since the denominator approaches zero and the numerator does not, we have a vertical asymptote at x=-1 for this function.
03

Function C

Evaluate the limit as x approaches -1 for the third function: \[y = \frac{x^2+1}{x+1}\] When x = -1, \[y = \frac{(-1)^2+1}{-1+1}\] \[y = \frac{2}{0}\] Again, since the denominator approaches zero and the numerator does not, we have a vertical asymptote at x=-1 for this function.
04

Function D

Evaluate the limit as x approaches -1 for the fourth function: \[y = \frac{\sin(x+2)}{x+1}\] When x = -1, \[y = \frac{\sin(-1+2)}{-1+1}\] \[y = \frac{\sin(1)}{0}\] Again, since the denominator approaches zero and the numerator does not, we have a vertical asymptote at x=-1 for this function.
05

Conclusion

Both functions B, C, and D have a vertical asymptote at x=-1. So, the correct choices are (B), (C), and (D).

Assertion (A): An equilateral triangle is filled with n, rows of congruent circles. The limit of the ratio of area of circle to the area of triangle as \(\mathrm{n} \rightarrow \infty\) is \(\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{6}\) Reason (R): Let the triangle have side length 1 and radius of circles be \(r\). Then \(2(n-1) r+2 r \sqrt{3}\) \(=1 .\) There are \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1)}{2}\) circles, the area ratio \(=\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{3}} \frac{n(n-1)}{(n+(\sqrt{3}-1))^{2}}\) which approaches \(\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{6}\) as \(\mathrm{n} \rightarrow \infty\).
