Give the equation of the horizontal asymptote, if any, of the function.
-$$f ( x ) = \frac { x + 9 } { x ^ { 2 } - 25 }$$
A) $y = 1$
B) $y = 0$
C) $y = - 5 , y = 5$
D) no horizontal asymptotes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For the given function $f(x) = \frac{x + 9}{x^2 - 25}$, the degree of the polynomial in the numerator is less than the degree of the polynomial in the denominator. Therefore, the horizontal asymptote is $y = 0$.
