Question 1
What does a horizontal asymptote describe?
Correct Answer:
It describes the end behavior of a function as x approaches infinity or negative infinity
Explanation:
The key idea is end behavior: a horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line that the function’s values approach as x grows without bound in either direction. If the function has a horizontal asymptote y = L, then as x ∘ ∞ or x ∘ −∞, f(x) gets arbitrarily close to L. This describes how the graph behaves far out along the x-axis, not the domain or any vertical behavior. This is not about the domain, and a horizontal asymptote is not a vertical line (that would be a vertical asymptote). Also, horizontal asymptotes aren’t limited to polynomials—they can occur in many kinds of functions, depending on how their values stabilize at extreme x.
Question 2
Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees are called what?
Correct Answer:
Complementary Angles
Explanation:
Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees are called complementary. This comes from the idea that a right angle measures 90 degrees, so the two angles together fill that right angle. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary. In a right triangle, the two non-right angles are complementary because they sum to 90. The other terms describe different ideas: vertical angles are opposite angles formed by intersecting lines and are equal to each other, not defined by a sum to 90; a transversal is a line that cuts across two lines, and corresponding angles are those in matching positions when a transversal crosses two lines, which are typically equal rather than summing to 90.
Question 3
Compute the limit of a_n = (3n^2 + 2n + 1)/(n^2 - 4) as n ∘ ∞.
Correct Answer:
3
Explanation:
When looking at limits of rational polynomials as n grows large, the leading terms dictate the behavior. Here both numerator and denominator are like n^2, so divide top and bottom by n^2 to see the limit clearly: a_n = (3 + 2/n + 1/n^2) / (1 - 4/n^2). As n ∘ ∞, the terms with 1/n and 1/n^2 vanish, leaving 3 in the numerator and 1 in the denominator. Therefore the limit is 3. This matches the idea that the ratio of leading coefficients is 3/1, and it rules out the other options since they would require different dominant behavior.
Question 4
Any number that can be expressed as a fraction describes which concept?
Correct Answer:
Rational
Explanation:
Rational numbers are exactly the numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers, with a nonzero denominator. This includes integers (like 5, which is 5/1), fractions, and decimals that terminate or repeat (such as 0.75 = 3/4 or 0.333... = 1/3). In contrast, numbers like π or √2 cannot be written as a fraction of integers, so they’re irrational. The other terms aren’t about how numbers can be expressed as fractions: end behavior describes what a function does as x grows large, complementary angles are two angles that sum to 90 degrees, and a transversal is a line that intersects two or more lines. So the description matches rational numbers.
Question 5
Two angles formed by intersecting lines and facing in the opposite direction are called what?
Correct Answer:
Vertical Angles
Explanation:
When two lines cross, they create four angles around the intersection. The pair of angles that lie opposite each other across the crossing are called vertical angles. These opposite angles are always equal in measure, even though they sit on opposite sides of the intersection. This is why the term vertical angles is the correct description for the angles facing in opposite directions. The other terms don’t fit: a transversal is a line that cuts across two lines, complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, and similar describes a relationship between shapes, not a specific angle pairing.
