# Function with a horizontal asymptote [closed]

Alright, so I have been doing some stuff and I need to find a function in order to test my equations. I was using 1/x; however, this became difficult as it is infinite at 0. I would sinx/x however that is not strictly positive.

What I need is an always positive function with an asymptote at y=0, no vertical asymptotes and remains > 1 for a large number of units (5 to 10). Preferably 10. What I am attempting to study is an area cap phenomenon I have noticed with certain integrals involving the floor function and so I need a large function with which to experiment with.

• what about $(\sin x+2)/x$? – Crostul Nov 21 '15 at 8:59
• I'm trying to avoid functions that cross the axes as that will introduce complications I would rather avoid at the moment. I wish to limit the number of variables I'm experimenting with. – The Great Duck Nov 21 '15 at 9:06
• My function does not cross the axes. it's $(\sin (x) +2 )/x$ – Crostul Nov 21 '15 at 9:07
• My mistake. I was thinking x + 2 was inside sin. Yes that is also one that appears useful. – The Great Duck Nov 21 '15 at 9:09

Try something like $$\frac{a}{x^2+b^2}$$ for appropriate $a>0$ and $b$.
