16,500+ 1020x
The function Y=
х
models y, the average annual cost in dollars of owning a car for x years. Which statement
16,500+ 1020x
best explains why the graph of y=
should have a vertical asymptote at x = 0?
х
O The value of the car decreases over time.
The value of the car will never dip below $0.
The time the car is owned is greater than 0.
O The initial cost of the car is greater than $0.

C. The time the car is owned is greater than 0

Function:

Where x denotes years

y denotes annual cost

We are given that the graph of the given equation should have vertical asymptote at x =0

Refer the attached graph .

Since with increase in the time the cost (y) decreases

So, the time must be greater than 0 So, that the change in the cost appears .

So, the graph of the given equation should have vertical asymptote at x =0 because The time the car is owned is greater than 0.

Hence Option C is correct : The time the car is owned is greater than 0.

rounding to the nearest thousandth would be 452,000
