Using it's concepts, it is found that for the function [tex]f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}[/tex]:
- The vertical asymptote of the function is x = 25.
- The horizontal asymptote is y = 5. Hence the end behavior is that [tex]y \rightarrow 5[/tex] when [tex]x \rightarrow \infty[/tex].
What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?
- The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
- The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity. They also give the end behavior of a function.
In this problem, the function is:
[tex]f(x) = \frac{5x}{x - 25}[/tex]
For the vertical asymptote, it is given by:
x - 25 = 0 -> x = 25.
The horizontal asymptote is given by:
[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x - 25} = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5x}{x} = 5[/tex]
