Question

The function mr004-1.jpg is a rational function. Use this function to answer each question.
y= 19,800/x
What are the asymptotes of the function? Check all that apply.

x = 0

x = 19,800

y = 0

y = 19,800

Answer 1

The asymptotes are x = 0 and y = 0.

Reason: y = 19,800/x has domain x ≠ 0 so a vertical asymptote at x = 0. As x → ±∞, y → 0 so a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.
