Nonlinear Functions

SAT Math· difficulty 4/5

A rational function has vertical asymptote at x=4x = 4 and horizontal asymptote at y=2y = 2. Which equation could it be?

  • A

    y=2x+1x4y = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 4}

    check_circle
  • B

    y=2x+4y = \frac{2}{x + 4}

  • C

    y=x+42xy = \frac{x + 4}{2x}

  • D

    y=x42x+1y = \frac{x - 4}{2x + 1}

Explanation

Vertical asymptote x=4x = 4 means denominator is zero at x=4x = 4, so x4x - 4. Horizontal asymptote y=2y = 2 means leading coefficient ratio is 2.
