Question

Which function has a graph with a horizontal asymptote at  y = -1.

  1. straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator x plus 5 over denominator x minus 3 end fraction
  2. text end text straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator negative x plus 9 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction
  3. straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator straight x squared plus 4 over denominator straight x squared minus 1 end fraction
  4. Non of the above

hintHint:

  • If both the polynomials have the same degree, divide the coefficients of the leading terms. This is your asymptote.
  • If the degree of the numerator is less than the denominator, then the asymptote is located at y = 0 (which is the x-axis).
  • If the degree of the numerator is greater than the denominator, then there is no horizontal asymptote.

The correct answer is: text end text straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator negative x plus 9 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction


    a)    Horizontal asymptote is given by
    As both the polynomials have the same degree, divide the coefficients of the leading terms.

    y = 1 over 1 = 1
    b)    Horizontal asymptote is given by
    As both the polynomials have the same degree, divide the coefficients of the leading terms.
    y =fraction numerator negative 1 over denominator 1 end fraction = -1
    c)    Horizontal asymptote is given by
    As both the polynomials have the same degree, divide the coefficients of the leading terms.
    y = 1 over 1 = 1
    Therefore function
    b.  straight F left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator negative x plus 9 over denominator x minus 8 end fraction   has horizontal asymptote at y = -1.
