Question

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that we have an asymptote at x = 2

Remember that in a rational function, the asymptote is at the x-value such that the denominator is equal to zero.

So, the denominator is something like:

(x + a)

we have that the denominator is zero when x = 2

Then:

(2 + a) = 0

solving that for a, we get:

a = -2

Then the denominator of the rational function is:

(x - 2)

For the given options, the only one with this denominator is option B, then the correct option is B.
