Shilpa's gym membership includes a one-time fee of $20. She then pays a discounted fee of $5 for each visit. The function that shows her average cost after x visits is: Recall the general form of a rational function: Which statement defines the horizontal asymptote? m < n, so y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote. m = n, so y = am / bn is the horizontal asymptote. m = n, so y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote. m > n, so there is no horizontal asymptote.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Flat = 20[/tex]

[tex]Visit = 5[/tex]

Required

The function to represent x visits

This is calculated as:

[tex]f(x) = Flat + Visit * x[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = 20 + 5 * x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = 20 + 5x[/tex]

The second question is incomplete; however, I will explain how to calculate the horizontal asymptote of a rational function.

For polynomials with the same degree (i.e. m = n), the horizontal asymptote is calculated by dividing the coefficients of the highest degrees.

e.g.

[tex]f(x) = \frac{6x^2 + 1}{3x^2 + 4}[/tex] ---the degrees of both is 2

So, the horizontal asymptote is:

[tex]y = 6/3[/tex]

[tex]y =2[/tex]

If the numerator has a higher degree, then there is no horizontal asymptote.

If the denominator has a higher degree, then the horizontal asymptote is:

[tex]y = 0[/tex]
