Find the value of g(5).

g(x) = (x – 3)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions have a horizontal asymptote. The equation of the horizontal asymptote is

y

=

0

.

Horizontal Asymptote:

y

=

0

You need Pythagorean theorem for this.

a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotheneus and a and b are the sides of the right triangle.

24² + x² = 26²

x² = 676-576

x = ±√100

x = 10 (-10 is rejected because length of triangle cannot be a negative number)
