f(x)= x+1/x
no horizontal asymptote
vertical: x=0
slant asymptote: y = x
Can't give any possible meaning, since the function is poorly defined
mathematical meaning: as x increases so does f(x)
but in terms of blood concentration, it makes no physical sense for small values of x
see:
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=f%28x%29%3D+x%2B1%2Fx+for+x+from+0+to+10

c. describe their possible meanings
