So I was doing this question with 4 options and I thought it was I and III but there's no option. It ends up it was only III, can someone pls explain why?

I is false. I think you got the idea of horizontal asymptotes wrong. The true definition of a horiziontal asymptote would be when the limit of a function approaching infinity or negative infinity equals a certain number. Although it is never possible for a vertical asymptote to be crossed over, there are instances where the horizontal asymptote has an intercept with the true function.

mudiffeje:

oh I think I never might've noticed that. Thanks. Do you have an example though?

Ferredoxin4:

Erm I can't think of one now

Ferredoxin4:

something like (x+1)/(x^2-9)

mudiffeje:

Thank you I got it

|dw:1568083064260:dw| This as well, there is a horizontal asymptote but it's still intercepted
