#

not sure

#

i put in a super large number for t

#

and get math error on my calc

nimble gazelle
#

When t is really big the +1 on the denominator doesn’t really change it

#

So it’s more like 1200e/400e

#

And the e’s cancel so the max would be 300

vagrant kindle
#

why does the +1 not change

#

yeha the mark scheme gets 300 aswell so ur right

#

but i dont get y the +1 doesnt change

nimble gazelle
#

Dyk about finding horizontal asymptotes

vagrant kindle
#

ermm

#

yea

#

isnt

#

it y=0

#

for a normal graph?

nimble gazelle
#

If the graph is 1200x/(400x + 1)

#

When you find the asymptote u jus divide the coefficients of x

vagrant kindle
#

oh ok

#

so 300x/1?

nimble gazelle
#

Say t was inifinitely large, then +1 would have no effect

vagrant kindle
#

hmm fairs fairsss

#

so what if it

#

was +2 instead of +1

#

would it still have no effect>

#

?

nimble gazelle
#

Doesn’t matter + what

#

Like the difference between a trillion and a trillion + 5 is tiny

vagrant kindle
#

ohhhk that makes more sense now

#

so the numbers are alr too big

#

as t tends to infinite

nimble gazelle
#

Ye

#

And then the e cancels

vagrant kindle
#

you disregard the + or - numbers

#

as they would b negigible

nimble gazelle
#

Basically ye

vagrant kindle
#

yeahhh fair enoughhh

#

nice one bro

#

that makes sense

#

appreciate it
