The increase in a person’s body temperature T(t), above 98.6ºF, can be modeled by the function mc025-1.jpg, where t represents t
ime elapsed. What is the meaning of the horizontal asymptote for this function? The horizontal asymptote of y = 0 means that the person’s temperature will approach 98.6ºF as time elapses. The horizontal asymptote of y = 0 means that the person’s temperature will approach 0ºF as time elapses. The horizontal asymptote of y = 4 means that the person’s temperature will approach 102.6ºF as time elapses. The horizontal asymptote of y = 4 means that the person’s temperature will approach 4ºF as time elapses.
Horizontal asymptote is what happens to T(f) as t becomes extremely large (approaches infinity). The horizontal asymptote is the line which T(t) approaches as t goes to infinity, i.e. the line y=0. This means that the person's body temperature will approach 0ºF above 98.6ºF as t goes to infinity. i.e. the person's body temperature will approach 98.6ºF as time lapses. The first option.
We use unit rate in every day life, for example, when comparing prices at stores. One store may offer five bowls for $7.99 and the other one bowl for $2.45.
