Question 16 • Precalculus
A horizontal asymptote at y = 31 means that f(x) approaches 31 as x increases or decreases without bound. Choice A states that f(x) approaches 31 as x approaches infinity, so it gives a horizontal asymptote at y = 31. The other choices describe behavior near finite x-values, which does not establish a horizontal asymptote.
