\

\"\" acetic acid solution is added to \"\" liters of a \"\" acetic acid solution in a \"\"-liter tank, the concentration of the total solution changes.

\

(a).

\

The concentration of the total solution is the sum of the amount of acetic acid in the original \"\" liters and the amount in the a liters of the \"\" solution, divided by the total amount of solution.\"\".

\

\"\".

\

Multiply the numerator and denominator with \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Therefore the concentration of the solution is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(b).

\

Since  \"\" cannot be negative and the maximum capacity of the tank is \"\" liters, the relevant domain of \"\" is  \"\".

\

The horizantal asymptote is at \"\" because \"\" acetic acid solution is added to \"\" liters of a \"\" acetic acid solution in a \"\"-liter tank. \ \

\

The horizantal asymptote is at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(c).

\

The tank already has \"\" liters of solution in it and it will only hold a total of \"\" liters, the amount of solution added must be less than or equal to \"\" liters.

\

It is also impossible to add negative amounts of solution, so the amount added must be greater than or equal to \"\".

\

As you add more of the \"\" solution, the concentration of the total solution will get closer to \"\".

\

But the solution in the tank has a lower concentration, the concentration of the total solution can never reach \"\".

\

Therefore, there is a horizontal asymptote at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(d).

\

Yes, the function is not defined at \"\".

\

As the concentration can never be negative, the asymptote does not pertain to the function.

\

If there were no domain restrictions, there would be a vertical asymptote at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(a). The concentration of the solution is \"\".

\

(b).

\

Domain of \"\" is \"\".

\

Horizantal asymptote is at \"\".

\

(c). Horizantal asymptote is at \"\". \ \

\

(d). Yes.

\

If there were no domain restrictions, there would be a vertical asymptote at \"\".
