omework: 3.5 Rational Functions and Their Graphs core:0 of 1 pt 150115(12 complete) HW Score: 72.73%, 10.91 of .5.105 Question Help Among all deaths from a particular disease, the percentage that is smoking-related is a function of the disease's incidence ratio, the number of times more likely smokers are than nonsmokers to die from the disease. The table to the right shows incidence ratios for a particular group. The rational function P(x) models the percentage of smoking-related deaths among all deaths from a disease, P(x), in terms of the disease's incidence ratio, x. The graph of P(x) is shown to the right atios Heart Disease 1.9 9x-1 4 6 8 10 12 The Disease's Incidence Rati What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph? The equation ofthe horizontal asymptote is (Type an equation.)

Explanation / Answer

HOrizontal asymptote is the dotted green line in the graph which approaches the blue graph as x goes to infinity

The equation for horizontal asymptote is

P=100
