Provide an appropriate response.A classmate claims that, if a function f(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y = w, then the function can only approach w but cannot actually equal w. Evaluate the classmate's claim.

What will be an ideal response?


The classmate's claim is wrong. The horizontal asymptote tells us what the behavior of f(x) will be as x approaches the extremes of its domain, but puts no restrictions on the function in between the extremes.
