Question

Give the equation of the horizontal asymptote of the function shown below.

g(x)=7/(x^2+5)

 		A.	y = 0
 		B.	x = 0
 		C.	y = 7/5
 		D.	y = 7

take a large value of x and see what your g(x) is.

Since the entire bottom line is not all positive numbers or 0, 1 is not an upper bound. 

If a>0 and all of the numbers in the bottom row of the synthetic division of P divided by x-a are positive, then a is an upper bound for the zeros of P.

Olympic, are you replying to the asymptote question?

anonymous · Answer

Yes :).

anonymous · Answer

y = 0

As x approaches infinity, the limit of the function is zero, so there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.

The first answer i gave was wrong :),

But i fixed it :).

jkristia · Answer

yes that is correct. I was confused about the other post.
