The increase in a person's body temperature to, above 98.6°F, can be modeled by the function (O) - 2 1. where!

represents time elapsed. What is the meaning of the horizontal asymptote for this function?

O The horizontal asymptote of y = 0 means that the person's temperature will approach 98.6°F as time elapses.

o The horizontal asymptote of y = O means that the person's temperature will approach 0°F as time elapses.

The horizontal asymptote of y = 4 means that the person's temperature will approach 102.6°F as time elapses.

symptote of y = 4 means that the person's temperature will approach 4°F as time elapses.

Horizontal asymptote is what happens to T (f) as t becomes extremely large (approaches infinity). The horizontal asymptote is the line which T (t) approaches as t goes to infinity, i. e. the line y=0. This means that the person's body temperature will approach 0ºF above 98.6ºF as t goes to infinity. i. e. the person's body temperature will approach 98.6ºF as time lapses.

The first option.
