17) f(x) = 16/(13-x).

In order to find domain, we need to set denominator expression equal to 0 and solve for x.

And that would be excluded value of domain.

13-x =0

Adding x on both sides, we get

13-x +x = x.

13=x.

Therefore, domain is All real numbers except 13.

18).f(x) = (x-4)(x+9)/(x^2-1).

In order to find the vertical asymptote, set denominator equal to 0 and solve for x.

x^2 -1 = 0

x^2 -1^2 = 0.

Factoring out

(x-1)(x+1) =0.

x-1=0 and x+1 =0.

x=1 and x=-1.

Therefore, Vertical asymptote would be

x=1 and x=-1

19) f(x) = (7x^2-3x-9)/(2x^2-4x+5)

We have degrees of numberator and denominator are same.

Therefore, Horizontal asymptote is the fraction of leading coefficents.

That is 7/2.

20) f(x)=(x^2+3x-2)/(x-2).

The degree of numerator is 2 and degree of denominator is 1.

2>1.

Degree of numerator >  degree of denominator .

Therefore, there would no any Horizontal asymptote.

correct answers below:

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80
