The function that represents the average cost per person, including transportation, to a museum is mc014-1.jpg. Which statement is true about the graph of the function?
The horizontal asymptote y = 0 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases.
The horizontal asymptote y = 8 means the average cost approaches $8 as the number of people increases.
The vertical asymptote x = 0 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases.
The vertical asymptote x = 8 means the cost approaches zero as the number of people increases.

"The horizontal asymptote y = 8 means the average cost approaches $8 as the number of people increases."
Reason: A horizontal asymptote describes the function's value as x → ∞, so the average cost per person approaches $8 for large groups. (The vertical asymptote at x = 0 would mean the cost blows up as the number of people approaches 0, not that it goes to 0.)
