Use the rules of transformations to compare the graphs of the functions, f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = 5/x-1. Which of the following options represents the asymptotes of the functions, f(x) and g(x)?
Select all that apply.
x = 2
x = -1
y = 0
y = 1
y = -1

Respuesta :

Answer: The Horizontal asymptote of f(x) and g(x) is y=0. The third option is correct.

Explanation:

it is given that the using the rules of transformations to compare the graphs of the functions,

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=\frac{5}{x-1}[/tex]

The graph of f(x) vertically stretch by factor 5 and shifts 1 unit right to transform g(x).

To find vertical asymptotes equate denominator equal to 0.

[tex]x=0[/tex]

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Therefore the function f(x) has vertical asymptote x=0, and g(x) has vertical asymptote x=1. So their is not common vertical asymptote.

To find horizontal asymptotes put [tex]x=\infty[/tex].

[tex]f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow \infty[/tex]

[tex]g(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow \infty[/tex]

Therefore, the function have common horizontal asymptote, i.e., y=0.
