For a given rational function, given n < m.

A rational function simply means the ratio of two polynomial functions. Here, n is the degree of the numerator, while m is the degree of the denominator

When you have n < m, it means the horizontal asymptote is the x-axis.

Also, at the x-intercept, the y-value is always zero (y = 0)

Also, when the degree of the numertaor, n is less than the degree of the denominator, m, then y=0 is the horizontal asymptote.

Therefore, the correct statement here is:

There is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0

ANSWER:

There is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0
