Limits at Infinity and Horizontal Asymptotes

Mark
< Prev
Next >

Which of the following correctly describes a function whose limit as x→∞x \to \infty indicates a horizontal asymptote?

A

For the function h(x)=exh(x)=e^{x}, the function grows without bound, so no horizontal asymptote exists.

B

For the function g(x)=x∗e−xg(x)=x*e^{-x}, although the limit is 0, the role of the polynomial factor complicates the demonstration of a horizontal asymptote.

C

For the function f(x)=e−xf(x)=e^{-x}, as x→∞x\to\infty the value of the function approaches 0, revealing a horizontal asymptote at y=0y=0.

D

For the function p(x)=exxp(x)=\frac{e^x}{x}, the exponential numerator causes the function to diverge to infinity, eliminating a horizontal asymptote.
