Question

Give the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the function shown below.

g(x)=7/(x^2+5)

A. y = 7/5
B. y = 7
C. y = 0
D. x = 0

Answer 1

its for sure one of the y = (blas)

Answer 2

If the degree of the denominator is greater than degree of numerator, then asymptote is always y = 0 because as x gets very large the fraction gets smaller and smaller

Answer 3

does that make sense?

Answer 4

i agree with dumbcow... horizontal asymptotes are limits if i remember right... imagine x approaching infiniti. 7/infiniti will approach 0, therefore y=0. (its y because it is horizontal).

Answer 5

thanks
