Help me please!!

The asymptotes of the function would be: Select one: a. x = 1 b. x = 1, y = 2 c. x = 2, y = 1 d. No asymptotes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

one source of asymptote is when the denominator approaches zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so does that mean there are no asymptotes

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is the denominator of the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is x-2 the denominator

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah so, what value of x would make this equal to zero? \[x-2 = 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

\(x=2\)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah, so as x approaches 2, there will be an asymptote because what is \[y(2) \leadsto \frac{0+2}{2-2}\leadsto\frac20\leadsto?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put it in the calculator and it said infinity

OpenStudy (ahsome):

\(\text{Any number divided by 0 will be undefined}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo...

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well you calculator is incorrect, because -∞ is just as likely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused what is the answer

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\frac20\] doesn't equal infinity It is an asymptote

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the final answer is D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the final answer is D?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes if the answer is D

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you found an asymptote at x=2

OpenStudy (ahsome):

It's C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so were does the one come from

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what value of x make y= 1?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

there are none, but as x approaches ∞ or -∞ y approaches 1 this is the other asymtope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok i get it

OpenStudy (ahsome):

If you get it, please press the \(\text{"Best Response"}\) for \(UnkleRhanukus\). Thank you :D
