Question

Suppose that an object that is originally at room temperature of 40°C is placed in a freezer. The temperature T (x) (in °C) of the object can be approximated by the model T (x)= 440 / (x² + 4x + 11)
where x is the time in hours after the object is placed in the freezer.
(a) What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph of this function and what does it represent in the context of this problem?
The horizontal asymptote is y = and means that the temperature will approach°C as time increases without bound.
