Question

what's the horizontal asymptote of (8/4x) +1?

Answer 1

To find the horizontal asymptote...you find what the equation equals when you let x tend to infinity

\[\frac{ 8 }{ 4x } + 1\]

What happens when 'x' approaches infinity? what does this equation come out to?

Answer 2

Hint...what happens to 8/4x when the denominator gets larger and larger? what does it get close it?

Answer 3

Does it make sense?

heres another way of looking at it

what does 1/10 =? a small number

now what does 1/100 =? an even smaller number

now what does 1/1000000000000000 =? a microscopic number

As the denominator gets bigger and bigger...the whole thing gets closer and closer to...?
