Question 1021578: A party planned has a budget of $1350 to buy a steak dinner for the entire guest list for a company retirement party. The planner will receive 15 free dinners when she places the order. The number of steak dinners, y, that the planner can buy is given by y=(1350/x)+15, where x is the price per steak dinner.
====================
a. What is the horizontal asymptote of this rational function?
b. What is the vertical asymptote?
c. If the price per donner is $25, how many dinners will the planner receive?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a. Let x-%3E%2Binfinity. As this happens, y-%3E15. Therefore the horizontal asymptote is y = 15.
b. As y-%3E%2Binfinity, x-%3E0. Hence the vertical asymptote is x = 0.
c. 1350%2F25+%2B+15+=+69 dinners.
