Question

(5(x-8)^4*(x+1)^7)/(x^11+9x^4+8)
What is the horizontal asymptote?

Answer 1

the horizontal aymptote is easiest to find when everything is in an addition form that top needs work on it...

Answer 2

is that:

5(x-8)^4 (x+1)^7 on top there?

Answer 3

I can tell already that its gonna be 0

Answer 4

no I cant, that was presumptious of me....

Answer 5

5x^4 x^7 is going to be the controlling terms on top...

5x^11 + ..(other stuff which doesnt matter)...
---------------------
x^11 + ...(other stuff that goes to zero)....

Your Horizontal Asymptote is going to be:

y=5

Answer 6

o, i see thanks!!
