Question

Suppose that an insect population (in millions) at time x greater than or equal to 0 (in months) is modeled by the rational function below. What does the asymptote mean in the context of this problem? Use numbers and units. (equation in the link)

No answer needed, take the points.

Answer 1

No equation given

How to find ?

So asymptotes are the lines which the graph tends to but never reach there ,It's usually located in rational functions

Take an example

• 1/(x-2)(x-3)

The asymptotes are present at there where the function turns undefined i.e denominator turns 0

Here the asymptotes are 2 nd 3
