Ax) = In x + 5
O A.
x=0
B.
x= -5
O c.
y= 0
OD.
y=-5

Answer 1

x=0

Explanation:

i took the test

Answer 2

x = 0

Explanation:

ln x + 5, similarily to ln x, has no right asymptote, because it goes to infinity (very slowly), but also any line y=ax+b raises faster than ln x for positive a.

It has a left asymptote though - ln x deacreases very fast as x approaches 0, so it has a vertical asymptote of x = 0.
