The correct Answer is:
To find the asymptotes of the curve given by the equation \( y = x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \), we will analyze the behavior of the function as \( x \) approaches infinity and zero. ### Step 1: Analyze the function as \( x \to \infty \) We start by examining the term \( \frac{\sin x}{x} \). As \( x \) approaches infinity, we know that \( \sin x \) oscillates between -1 and 1. Therefore, we can bound the term: \[ -\frac{1}{x} \leq \frac{\sin x}{x} \leq \frac{1}{x} \] As \( x \to \infty \), both \( -\frac{1}{x} \) and \( \frac{1}{x} \) approach 0. Thus, by the Squeeze Theorem: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 0 \] Now substituting this back into our function: \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} y = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) = \lim_{x \to \infty} x + 0 = \infty \] ### Step 2: Identify the oblique asymptote Next, we can find the oblique asymptote by considering the linear part of the function as \( x \to \infty \): \[ y \approx x \quad \text{as } x \to \infty \] Thus, the oblique asymptote is the line: \[ y = x \] ### Step 3: Analyze the function as \( x \to 0 \) Now, we analyze the function as \( x \) approaches 0. We need to evaluate \( \frac{\sin x}{x} \) at this limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 \] So substituting this into our function: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} y = \lim_{x \to 0} \left( x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \right) = 0 + 1 = 1 \] ### Step 4: Identify the vertical asymptote Since the function \( y = x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \) is defined for all \( x \) (including \( x = 0 \)), there are no vertical asymptotes. ### Conclusion The asymptotes of the curve \( y = x + \frac{\sin x}{x} \) are: 1. An oblique asymptote: \( y = x \) as \( x \to \infty \) 2. No vertical asymptotes.
