The cost of catering a dinner is $11.95 per person plus $25 for delivery and setup. Which statement is true about the graph of the function that represents the average cost per person?
The horizontal asymptote y = 0 represents that the cost per person approaches $0 as the number of people increases

the horizontal asymptote y = 11.95 represents that the cost per person approaches $11.95 as the number of people increases.

The vertical asymptote x = 0 represents that the cost per person approaches $0 as the number of people increases

The vertical asymptote x = 11.95 represents that the cost per person approaches $11.95 as the number of people increases.​

Respuesta :

The answer is B.) The horizontal asymptote y = 11.95 represents that the cost per person approaches $11.95 as the number of people increases.

Statement which is true about the graph of the function that represents the average cost per person is the horizontal asymptote y = 11.95 represents that the cost per person approaches $11.95 as the number of people increases.

What is graph ?

" Graph is defined as the pictorial presentation of the data on the coordinate plane along x-axis and y-axis."

What is average cost?

" Average cost is defined as the ratio of the total cost for 'n' number of people to the 'n' number of people."

Formula used

Average cost = [tex]\frac{total cost}{number of people}[/tex]

According to the question,

Cost of catering dinner per person = $11.95

Delivery and set up fixed cost= $25

'T' represents the total cost

'x' represents the total number of people

'y' average cost per person

As per the given condition we have,

Cost of catering dinner x persons = $11.95x

Total cost for 'x' number of people= $11.95x + $25

Substitute the value to get average cost we get,

Average cost = [tex]\frac{11.95x+25}{x}[/tex]

                       = [tex]11.95 + \frac{25}{x}[/tex]

As shown in the graph ,

                     

Horizontal asymptote  y = 11.95

Hence, graph of the function that represents the average cost per person is the horizontal asymptote y = 11.95 represents that the cost per person approaches $11.95 as the number of people increases.
