Identify the asymptote. y = 1/ x + 2

OpenStudy (allank):

Alright, we can see that as x approaches infinity, f(x)=y approaches 2. This is a horizontal asymptote. understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really, I need help showing my work. I know the answer should be x = - 2 and y = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@allank

OpenStudy (allank):

Let me walk u through it. First, what is the limit of 1/x as x approaches infinity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?

OpenStudy (allank):

Yes.

OpenStudy (allank):

Now, we have a function f(x) whose graph is f(x)=y=1/x+2. Can you draw this graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have it drawn on my paper. do you want me to try drawing ot on here?

OpenStudy (allank):

Yes please

OpenStudy (allank):

Okay, let's observe the section x>0 |dw:1369549919726:dw|
