3/x-2, i'm confused as to what the horizontal asymptote is. The resources I found online conclude that it has a horizontal asymptote of y=0. I know that in order for a horizontal asymptote to be y=0, the denominator has to have a greater degree than the numerator. Im confused because doesn't the numerator have the same degree as the denominator (degree of 1)?

The Horizontal Asymptote is at x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a way to remember this

One way to remember this is the following pnemonic device: BOBO BOTN EATS DC

EABOBO -Exponents are bigger on bottom, y=0

EABOTN -Exponents are bigger on top, none

EATS DC - Exponents are the same, divide coefficients

3/x-2 the exponents are the same, divide leading coefficients

3/1 = 3 the horizontal asymtote is at x=3

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
