h(x) = 6x + 1 we can write
y = 6x + 1 the object is to get x by itself and then "swap" x and y
Subtract 1 from both sides
y - 1 = 6x divide both sides by 6
[ y - 1 ] / 6 = x "swap x and y
[x - 1 ] / 6 = y for y, write h-1(x)
[ x - 1 ] / 6 = h-1 (x) and this is the inverse
What are the vertical asymptotes of R(x) = 3x - 3/(x2) - 4?
As shown here, the vertcal asymptote occurs at x = 0

+2440 In the second question, Cphill interpreted it correctly, but if you meant \(R(x)=\frac{3x-3}{x^2-4}\) or \(R(x)=3x-\frac{3}{x^2-4}\), the answer is different. Let's think about what we have to do to figure out the vertical asymptote.
In both cases, we have rational fractions. Of course, we can't have a denominator of 0. This means that if we plug in a value for x that results in a denominator that equals 0, then it is officially outside of the domain. Let's figure out when x^2-4=0.
| \(x^2-4=0\) | You might notice that x^2-4 is a difference of 2 squares, but we don't need to take advantage of this, actually. This is because we have no b-term. Add4 to both sides. |
| \(x^2=4\) | Take the square root of both sides. |
| \(x=\pm2\) | |
This means that the vertical asymptote is at \(x=\pm2\), which corresponds to the answer choice of C.
