Identify the horizontal asymptote of f(x) = 3 over 5 x.

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[f(x)=\frac{3}{5x}\]?

OpenStudy (blahkayjay):

yes

OpenStudy (blahkayjay):

. y = 3 over 5 b. y = 0 c. y = 5 over 3 d. No horizontal asymptote

satellite73 (satellite73):

the degree of the numerator is zero, the degree of the denominator is one one is bigger than zero a fraction with a big denominator compared to the numerator is close to zero for example if \(x=1,000,00\) you would have \[\frac{3}{5,000,000}\] which is almost zero

OpenStudy (mhchen):

If the denominator increases 'faster' than the numerator, it converges to 0.

satellite73 (satellite73):

so go with \(y=0\)

Ohhh Okay Thanks so much!
