Using the concept of vertical and horizontal asymptotes, it is found that the function will have a horizontal asymptote at y = 2 and a vertical asymptote at x = 1 for a = -1 and m = 1.
<h3>What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?</h3>
- The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
- The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.
In this problem, the function is:
It has a vertical asymptote at x = 1, hence:
x + a = 0
1 + a = 0
a = -1
It has a horizontal asymptote at y = 2, hence:
Then, since we want to simplify, the exponents at the numerator and the denominator have to be equal, hence m = 1.
