Answer:
D) y = 1/4 x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
For these functions, the leading coefficient can be considered to be either ...
the vertical scale factor (larger ⇒ narrower)
the square of the inverse of the horizontal scale factor.
In the latter case, the horizontal scale factor will be larger (wider) when its inverse and the square of its inverse are smaller.
Either way, you're looking for the smallest leading coefficient: 1/4.
<u>Answer:</u>
-2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.
Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:
1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.
2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.
3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.
Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.
Horizontal asymptote = = -2
