Consider the function f(x) = ax+3 over x-b.
find a and b given that y=f(x) has asymptotes with equations x = -1 and y = 2.

there are no short passages to look at

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
