- How do I find the verticle asymtotes? f(x)= 1/ √x sec xarrow_forwardThe velocity function of a particle moving along a line is v(t) = 3·t2 − 12·t + 9, where t is in seconds and v is in m/sec. Find the displacement and the distance traveled by the particle during the time interval [−2,6].arrow_forwardVerify the given linear approximation at a = 0. Then determine the values of x for which the linear approximation is accurate to within 0.1. (Enter your answer using interval notation.
