Practice problem
Which of the following statements about the asymptotes of reciprocal functions are true?
If f=1x−kf = \frac{1}{x-k}f=x−k1, then the horizontal asymptote of fff is at the value kkk.
If f=1x−kf = \frac{1}{x-k}f=x−k1, then the vertical asymptote of fff is at the value kkk.
If f=1+jxf = \frac{1 + j}{x}f=x1+j, then the horizontal asymptote of fff is at the value jjj.
If f=1+jxxf = \frac{1 + jx}{x}f=x1+jx, then the horizontal asymptote of fff is at the value jjj.
If f=αx−k+jf = \frac{\alpha}{x-k} + jf=x−kα+j, then the asymptotes are x=αkx = \alpha kx=αk and y=αjy = \alpha jy=αj.
Type a concept, like “slope” or “photosynthesis”.
