Question

The function y= 19,800/x is a rational function. Use this function to answer each question. What are the asymptotes of the function? Check all the apply. • x=0 • x= 19,800 • y= 0 • y= 19,800

Answer 1

x = 0

y = 0

second question is b

third question is b

and forth is c

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given the function y = 19800/x

Vertical asymptote occurs at when f(x) = 0 where;

f(x) is the denominator of the given function.

From the expression given: f(x) = x

Since f(x) => 0, hence x = 0

To get the horizontal asymptote, we will look at the degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of numerator is less than the denominator, the horizontal asymptote will be zero. From the function, we can see that the degree of the numerator is zero (being a constant) and that of the denominator is 1.

Since 0<1, hence the horizontal asymptote is 0

x = 0, y = 0
