The asymptotes of the graph of [tex]f(x) = \frac{5}{x - 1}[/tex] are as follows:

  • Vertical: x = 1.
  • Horizontal: y = 0.

What are the asymptotes of a function f(x)?

  • The vertical asymptotes are the values of x which are outside the domain, which in a fraction are the zeroes of the denominator.
  • The horizontal asymptote is the value of f(x) as x goes to infinity, as long as this value is different of infinity.

In this problem, the function is:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{5}{x - 1}[/tex]

For the vertical asymptote, we have that:

[tex]x - 1 = 0 \rightarrow x = 1[/tex].

For the horizontal asymptote, we have that:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = \frac{5}{\infty - 1} = 0[/tex].
