While doing my homework, I came across a problem asking me to graph a hyperbola with no horizontal or vertical asymptotes, and an oblique asymptote at y= x + 2. Another problem is asking for the graph of a hyperbola with no asymptotes! I am certain this lack of asymptotes is not due to a calculation error on my part, as this is merely a graphing exercise and the worksheet lists the number and variety of asymptote. Any help would be incredibly appreciated as I have no idea how to complete either of the problems (they're listed below for reference). r(x)= x^2 + x - 6 (no horizontal, vertical, or oblique asymptotes) x - 2 r(x)= x^2 - x - 6 (oblique asymptote at y= x + 2, no horizontal or vertical asymptotes) x - 3

Hi! First of all, congrats! I'm a high-school student and currently working on my own science fair project, so I can definitely empathize. I suppose I would try to make the conclusion correlate a little more with the hypothesize. For example, instead of "I hypothesize the colder temperature will result in a faster rate of growth, and therefore the crystal exposed to colder temperatures will form first." she could write "I hypothesize the colder temperature will result in a faster rate of growth, and therefore the crystal exposed to colder temperatures will not only be the first to form, but should also be larger than that grown in warmer temperatures. Over time, the differences in rate of growth should compound, causing the size difference to likewise increase exponentially." She could then go on to make a line graph showing the size of each crystal over time, with emphasis placed on the widening size-gap (assuming the data's available). Or she could, in her conclusion, emphasize how not only did the colder cyrstal form first, but it maintained its faster rate of growht over the entire time frame, resulting in a larger crystal at the end of experimentation. On second thought, it may be a good idea to totally revise her hypothesis to place more emphasis on the cyrstals' sizes rather than which formed first, if that would be more conveniant for writing the conclusion. It's completely ethical so long as she doesn't change her actual prediction (i.e which temperature will result in the faster growing crystal)l. As for the abstract, a good way to catch the judge's eye would be to emphasize the effects of her experiment on society. For example "Knowing the ideal temperature for borax cyrstal growth would decrease production costs. If the price of borax crystals were to decrease, the products in which they are used- insect repellent, flux, weed killer- should become more widely and inexpensively available as well." Good luck at the regional fair

Hi everyone, I'm just about in the home-stretch of my high school science project, which aimed to create a "cruelty-free" substitute for fur requiring less petroleum than currently available synthetics by using H. erinceus, a mushroom covered in very fine spines resembling fur, as the primary material. After conducting the bulk of my expieramentation, I was excited to find the resulting fabric has commercial potential- as a leather substitute. The only problem is that, over the last five months I've been researching like crazy and now have 19 pages worth of research primarily on the fur industry. Does this new development mean all that research was a waste? Should I try to complete 19 more pages on the leather industry by early March (the date of the fair). I was really hoping to advance to INTEL, and therefore want my project to be the absolute best I can make it! Thanks for your insight, Alison
