Question

What is the equation of the horizontal asymptote? f(x)=4(52)x+7

Answer 1

208x+7

Explanation:

When you multiply the numbers: 4 times 52=208. Then, add the rest of the function (x+7).

So, 208x+7.

Answer 2

y = 0

Explanation:

I think the equation was mistyped. Asymptotes are typically found in rational functions. Probably the actual equation was f(x)=4/(52x+7). In this case, the degree of the numerator (which is zero) is less than the degree of the denominator (which is 1), then y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote. In figure attached, plot of f(x)=4/(52x+7) can be seen.
