Given:
f(x) = (200 + 3.10x) / x
Finding the horizontal asymptote
1) put equation in y form: y = 200 + 3.10x / x
2) remove everything except the terms with the biggest exponents of x
y = 3.10x / x
3) remove x to recognize the horizontal asymptote: y = 3.10
Finding the vertical asymptote
1) set the denominator to be equal to 0 and solve for x
f(x) = 200 + 3.10x / x
x = 0
f(x) = 200 + 3.10 x / 0
My answer is:
A. The horizontal asymptote of y = 3.10 represents that the average cost per unit will approach $3.10 as the number of units produced increases.
