The horizontal asymptote of the rational function f(x)= −2/+2 (x minus 2 over x plus 2) is *

9514 1404 393

  y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal asymptote can be found as the ratio of the highest-degree terms in the numerator and denominator.

  f(x) = (x -2)/(x +2)

lim (x→ ±∞) of f(x) = x/x = 1

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
