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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The function to represent x visits

This is calculated as:

So, we have:

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.

---the degrees of both is 2

So, the horizontal asymptote is:

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:

5104.38 inches
