1 answer:
Answer: (A) vertical asymptote: x = 2, horizontal asymptote: y = 1
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>Vertical Asymptote</u> is the restriction on the x-value. The denominator cannot be zero, so x - 2 ≠ 0 ⇒ x ≠ 2
The restricted value on x is when x = 2 <em>which is the vertical asymptote</em>
<u>Horizontal Asymptote</u> (H.A.) is the restriction on the y-value. This is a comparison of the numerator (n) and denominator (m). There are 3 rules that will help you:
- n > m No H.A. (use long division to find slant asymptote)
- n = m H.A. is the coefficient of n divided by coefficient of m
- n < m H.A. is 0
In the given problem, n < m so y = 0, however there is also a vertical shift of up 1 so the H.A. also shifts up. This results in H.A. of y = 1

The unit rate you're trying to find is pages per day(or p/d), so the equation needs to have both a unit for pages and for days.
The equation we have is:
If they read 5,249 <em>pages</em>, then we can include the unit for pages in the equation.
Since we also know that <em>d</em> is the number of days it took, you can replace <em>d</em> with days.
The equation becomes:
Now that we have one variable, we can solve for <em>p/d</em>:
Thus it took them 181 days to read it all.
If Johnny read 5,249 pages over 181 days and the unit rate is pages per day(p/d), then the equation for finding <em>p/d</em> is:
Johnny read 29 pages per day.
