A chemist has 500 ml of a 30% acid solution. She adds x milliliters of a 10% acid solution. Which statement is true about the graph of the function that represents the concentration of the final solution?

Question

-The horizontal asymptote y = 30 means that the final concentration will always be less than 30%.
-The horizontal asymptote y = 10 means that the final concentration will always be greater than 10%.
-The vertical asymptote x = 500 means that the volume of solution will always be greater than 500 ml.
-The vertical asymptote x = 0 means that the volume of the solution will always be greater than 0.

No vertical asymptotes.  No horizontal asymptote at y=30.  There will be a horizontal asymptote at y=10.
