Exploring Asymptotic Behavior in Real-Life Functions

A car's fuel efficiency can be modeled by the function f(x) = 100/(x + 2), where x is the speed in miles per hour. Analyze the asymptotic behavior of this function as speed increases. What happens to the fuel efficiency?

• As speed increases, fuel efficiency increases indefinitely.

• As speed increases, fuel efficiency approaches zero.

• Fuel efficiency remains constant regardless of speed.

• As speed increases, fuel efficiency becomes negative.
