bac-s-maths 2015 Q1A Asymptote Determination View
In the plane equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{O}, \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath})$, we denote by $\mathscr{C}_{u}$ the curve representing the function $u$ defined on the interval $]0; +\infty[$ by: $$u(x) = a + \frac{b}{x} + \frac{c}{x^2}$$ where $a, b$ and $c$ are fixed real numbers.
The curve $\mathscr{C}_{u}$ passes through the points $\mathrm{A}(1; 0)$ and $\mathrm{B}(4; 0)$ and the $y$-axis and the line $\mathscr{D}$ with equation $y = 1$ are asymptotes to the curve $\mathscr{C}_{u}$.
