Answer :

Given:

The function is:

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{2x}{x+4}[/tex]

To find:

The vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{2x}{x+4}[/tex]

For vertical asymptotes, equate the denominator and 0.

[tex]x+4=0[/tex]

[tex]x+4-4=0-4[/tex]

[tex]x=-4[/tex]

So, the vertical asymptote of the given function is [tex]x=-4[/tex].

The degree of the numerator is 1 and the degree of the denominator is also 1.

Since the degrees of numerator and denominator are equal, therefore the horizontal asymptote is:

[tex]y=\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex]

Where, a is the leading coefficient of numerator and b is the leading coefficient of denominator.

Leading coefficient of numerator is 2 and the leading coefficient of denominator is 1, so the horizontal asymptote is:

[tex]y=\dfrac{2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]y=2[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C.
